Cognitive processing capacity and heart rate in recognition memory for numbers and random shapes.
Heart rate was measured in 30 men during a recognition-memory task using both numbers and random shapes as stimuli. Findings for the number, but not the shape material, provided support for the hypothesis that availability of cognitive processing capacity is reflected by heart rate. This was considered an indication of separate cognitive processors.
