Popis: Decision-making is an integrative process during which multiple sources of available evidence are combined into a singular response. Importantly, subconscious processes occur in perceptual decisions that may influence interpretations of visually displayed data such as fetal heart rate tracings (FHRT), which are typically presented together for twins. To examine the potential impact of subconscious perceptual influences on fetal well-being, differences in assessments of FHRTs for twin gestations presented singly or paired were evaluated for baseline fetal heart rate, variability, accelerations, decelerations, and overall concern. Obstetrical nurses (N = 27) assessed FHRTs from 20 twin gestations (each of which had at least one live birth with a 5-min Apgar
