Flashcards
Skin Conductance Level (SCL)
Skin Conductance Level (SCL)
A continuous measure of the electrical conductivity of the skin, indicating overall sweat level and reflecting general emotional state. It provides a baseline of your emotional arousal level.
Skin Conductance Response (SCR)
Skin Conductance Response (SCR)
A transient change in skin conductance, indicating a quick spike in sweat due to a specific event or emotional trigger. It reflects your immediate response to something.
Cardiovascular System

Study Notes
Psychophysiological Measures of Autonomic Nervous System Activity
- Skin Conductance Level (SCL) measures the continuous electrical conductance of skin, varying with sweat gland activity. It reflects the overall emotional state (e.g., baseline stress level).
- Skin Conductance Response (SCR) measures transient changes in skin conductance, related to discrete events. It indicates physiological arousal and emotional responses. SCR is a quick spike in response to a specific trigger.
- SCL and SCR are sensitive to various psychological states like stress, anxiety, fear, and cognitive load; changes in these measures can indicate emotional and physiological arousal.
Cardiovascular Activity
- The cardiovascular system consists of blood vessels and the heart.
- It distributes oxygen and nutrients, removes waste products, and transmits chemical messages.
