Key Points

The research aims to clarify the influence of attention and arousal on CNV, challenging previous inadequate explanations.
Implemented a novel experimental design to manipulate attention and arousal independently.
Grouped subjects based on selective attention ability ('good' and 'poor' attenders) and arousal potential ('high' and 'low').
Conducted a CNV experiment under a distracting condition to assess changes in CNV amplitude.
Results suggest a significant relationship between CNV amplitude and arousal rather than attention.
Model predictions indicated that CNV variations could be explained primarily through arousal dimensions.
