As simulation is now used in many post-graduate education and assessment domains, the
investigators want to learn about how autonomically engaged healthcare providers are with
the investigators computer simulation paradigm. The investigators are interested in the
relationship between autonomic arousal (as measured by heart rate variability and galvanic
skin response), self-report of engagement, and performance in the simulation and cognitive
debriefing.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Healthcare provider
- Right-handed
Exclusion Criteria:
- Has a medical condition associated with cardiac arrhythmia
- Taking medications (such as antiarrhythmic or beta-blocker) that has an effect on
heart rate or autonomic function
