Abstract
This experiment aimed at to analyse the effects of “arousal” on both performance level and physiological index during human rote learning with a premise that white-noise and task-difficulty would serve as “physical” and “cognitive” arousers respectively, Forty subjects wete randomly assigned to 4 experimental groups varying on 2 noise levels and 2 task difficulties. Results obtained were as follows. First, there was a trend of interaction between the physical and cognitive arousers, i.e., the administration of white-noise increased the performance level under the easy task conditions while it decreased under the difficult conditions. Secondly, the heart rate increased during the rote learning, reflecting its highest arousal level at the recall periods.
