Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
Measurement of simple reaction time (SRT),
The measurement in terme of millisecodes was carried out over a period of seven months, comprising three measurement phases
Three measurement periods over 28 weeks
Measurement of selective reaction times
The measurement, in milliseconds, was carried out over a period of 28 weeks
Three measurement periods over 28 weeks
Measuring perceptions of disruptive behaviour
The measurement of frequency of occurrence was carried out over a period of 28 weeks
Three measurement periods over 28 weeks
Stress measurement
Stress was measured in terms of changes in heart rate over a 28-week period
Three sampling periods spread over the 28 weeks
