Motivated by work suggesting that dopaminergic activity may be a mechanism linking anxiety and effortful control, in a sample of school-age children we (tediously) counted eye blinks during the “Tower of Patience” task as a proxy of dopaminergic activity
Now it’s your turn!: Eye blink rate in a Jenga task modulated by interaction of task wait times, effortful control, and internalizing behaviors
Dopamine is a versatile neurotransmitter with implications in many domains, including anxiety and effortful control. Where high levels of effortful control are often regarded as adaptive, other work s...
