摘要: In standardized stress conditions, cortisol responders and non-responders differ in their memory performance. To evaluate this association a real-life situation, we investigated whether the individual response profile predicts performance an examination statistics 112 healthy participants. addition, basic arithmetic abilities as well mathematics anxiety were evaluated. We collected baseline saliva sample before day pre- post-examination samples. Participants attributed to one of four profiles depending on change anticipation examination. 52% participants showed increase (A-profile) 43% decrease (D-profile) Cortisol changes did not predict However, only A-profile individuals, predicted conclude that situations, facilitates influence mathematical
