[Effect of negative emotions on various links in visual-motor integration in man].

The influence of emotional stress was studied on different links of the structure-functional system providing perception of a stimulus and choice of an adequate to signals voluntary motor reaction. Presentation of emotionally meaningful words was shown to change significantly and nonequivalently the process of stimulus recognition and the value of reaction time. The changes were more brief in persons with inborn emotional lability and significantly longer in those after the brain injury. It was shown that emotional factors might significantly change (delay) the process of decision making.
