Overview

Experimental assessments reveal that blood pressure influences response speed during systolic phases, while heart rate variability does not.

Key Points

  • Higher blood pressure predicted reduced response time slowing during systole in interference tasks.
  • Heart rate variability did not show a link to cardiac timing effects in any task variants.
  • Cognitive control plays a crucial role in modulating cardiac timing effects on response speed.
  • The findings enhance understanding of how physiological factors influence cognitive processes.
