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
