Roeterseilandcampus - Gebouw C, Straat: Nieuwe Achtergracht 129-B, Ruimte: GS.02. Vanwege beperkte zaalcapaciteit is deelname op basis van wie het eerst komt, het eerst maalt. Leraren moeten zich hieraan houden.

This Masterthesis investigates how spontaneous fluctuations in arousal, as indexed by pupil size, modulate the reorienting of attention. Using an exogenous cueing task with short and long cue-target intervals, it is examined whether this relationship follows a U-shaped or inverted U-shaped pattern. The findings contribute to a better understanding of how internal arousal states shape our ability to flexibly redirect attention in response to external stimuli.
