Emergency management, during or shortly after an event, includes measures of response and recovery.
Quantitative measures of response magnitudes and latencies revealed the following main results.
Lactate clearance and improvement in SCVO2 are objective measures of response to therapy and assist treating physicians in therapeutic decisions.
Following Baumgartner and Steenkamp (2001), Buckley (2009) used ad hoc measures of response style based on the counts of extreme responses in measuring response style tendencies.
No advantage was found in using a composite scale, based on several measures of response to noise, in place of direct ratings of dissatisfaction.
Psychophysiological measures of heart rate, systolic blood pressure (BP) and diastolic BP were taken along with behavioral measures of response time and error rate.
No group differences were found in the mu and beta decrease as measures of response preparation and inhibition at electrodes over sensorimotor cortex.
While Stroop did not correlate with BIS, a latent variable analysis revealed all four measures of response inhibition to be underpinned by the same construct, where the BIS explained 12%% of the variance (Aichert et al. 2012).
The present study examined interrelationships between measures of response inhibition, self-report impulsiveness scales, and responses to events during a simulated drive that were designed to detect impulsive, unsafe behaviours (e.g., turning across on-coming traffic).
Although self-reported impulsiveness has been positively associated with self-reports of risky driving, results based on objective measures of response inhibition (e.g., Go/No-go tasks) have been inconclusive.
The development of a treatment for a chronic disorder requires consideration of the ordering of treatments, the timing of changes in treatment, and the use of measures of response, burden and adherence collected during treatment to make further treatment decisions.
