It has been suggested that most experiments on psychological stress can be divided into studies of "failure-induced" and "task-induced" stress. The article cites a study that concerns with the cognitive-interference stress. The general findings in the area of cognitive-interference stress include evidence that such stress may result in both increments and decrements of performance increases in the expenditure of energy and feelings of tension and unrest. A critical methodological problem at this point is the measurement of the strengths of organization of cognitive subsystems, which may then be used to predict stability of performance under stressor conditions. An interpretation of some almost completely neglected past research seemed to offer a possible solution to this problem. The article attempts to infer two possible cognitive subsystems, conceptual and sensorimotor, each of which includes a large variety of task operations that may be of interest and importance in adaptive behavior However, in the present state of the research, relatively little is known of the exact nature, limits, or origins of these subsystems. Also, there are undoubtedly other subsystems, all of which will eventually require theoretical integration. |
