Study of Influence of Varies Stress Sources on Our Performances in Different Memory Tasks

Abstract

We focused on the influence of stress on daily tasks like story detail remembering and word remembering based on two types of stress sources: 1. Under stressful music, 2. Experiencing a disappearance of the materials. We separate participants into three groups: 1. control group with no stress, 2. stress group-1 with stressful music, 3. stress group-2 with both stressor present. The results show there is no significant difference under different stress levels for story-remembering tasks, while in word-remembering tasks, our participants' performance dropped a lot when all stress sources were put on our participants.
