Abstract |
Pulse rate, blood pressure and sodium and potassium levels in saliva were monitored in 48 healthy students during a 24-hour period, while they maintained their normal activities (attending classes, sleeping). Some students were monitored during a second 24-hour period in which they took an examination. The strongest correlations were found between mental workload on one hand and pulse rate and blood pressure on the other. For the salivary potassium level the correlation was weaker while the sodium levels did not at all reflect short-term changes in the mental workload. |
