Induced muscular tension, incentive, and blink rate in a verbal learning task.

Abstract
24 college students, serving as their own controls, learned lists of nonsense syllables under various conditions of induced muscular tension and incentive. Eyeblinks were counted during the learning trials and intertrial rest intervals. The learning data showed that the tension consistently interfered with learning, incentive interfered during part of the learning sessions, and there was no difference between the control and the combined tension and incentive conditions. The blink analysis showed no differences between any of the conditions either during learning or during the rest intervals. From Psyc Abstracts 36:01:1CI95S.
