The present study sought to determine whether autonomic activity is associated with dominance in verbal over spatial reasoning tasks. A group of 19 healthy adults who performed a verbal and spatial aptitude test was evaluated. Autonomic function was assessed by means of heart rate variability analysis, before and during the tasks. The results showed that a better relative performance in verbal over spatial reasoning tasks was associated with vagal prevalence in normal subjects.
本研究旨在确定自主活动是否与言语推理任务优于空间推理任务的优势有关。评估了一组 19 名健康成年人，他们进行了言语和空间能力测试。通过心率变异性分析来评估自主功能，在任务之前和期间进行评估。结果表明，正常受试者中，言语推理任务相对表现较好与迷走神经优势有关。
