To examine the effects of trait anxiety and induced arousal on two-flash threshold 10 neurotic patients and 10 normal students were tested in aroused (70 dB white noise) and non-aroused conditions. Patients had higher state and trait anxiety than normals. A significant difference in two-flash threshold was observed between the groups during non-arousal only.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
