Psychophysiology - Measuring bodily activity - electrodermal activity
3 important questions on Psychophysiology - Measuring bodily activity - electrodermal activity
What does electrodermal activity measure?
What are the two types of sweat glands?
- Apocrine: scents & pheromones (open in hier follicles, found in armpits and genital areas)
- Eccrine: thermoregulation (most dense in hand palms and soles of feet)
What are the strengths and limitations of skin conductance?
- direct measurement of automatic nervous system
- very useful
Limitations:
- bad temporal resolution (takes 30sec for effect to show and go back to basic)
- very sensitive to noise
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
