Psychophysiological studies

There is extensive clinical evidence that NE plays a role in hiunan anxiety. Well-designed psychophysiological studies have been conducted that have documented heightened autonomic or sympathetic nervous system arousal in combat veterans with chronic PTSD. Because central noradrenergic and peripheral sympathetic systems function in concert (Aston-Jones et al. 1991), the data from these psychophysiology investigations are consistent with the hypothesis that noradrenergic hyperreactivity in patients with PTSD may be associated with the conditioned or sensitized responses to specific traumatic stimuli.

In another report describing the same cohort of workers as studied by Rosenman et al. (1979), Moss et al. (1979) conducted electrophysiological and psychophysiological studies of the eyes of 7 of the 10 workers who had complained of decreased night vision. No functional deficits were found in the vision of these workers.

Rau (1996) conducted a psychophysiological study that is noteworthy in its theoretical concepts and methodology. In her research on operators in an electroeneigy network, she made reference to the concept of human reliability as proposed by Nebylizyn and to the concept of decision latitude as proposed by Karasek. The ability to perform one s job in accordance with the objective task demands and, simultaneously, to maintain an optimal level of psychophysiological arousal are the essential constructs here. Such research requites a multimethod assessment, preferably by ambulatory monitoring technology. 

However, given that various psychophysiological studies have shown detrimental effects of very short SRT s, the general reconunendation "faster is better" (c the title of Smith, 1983) does not seem to be appropriate for HCI, except for programmers (Lambert, 1984). Therefore, the reconunendation is to determine an optimal SRT for the task in question by means of a psychophysiological study. The criterion for optimal would be no marked increases in cardiovascular...
