Study 2: Cardiovascular Reactivity During Pretask Baseline and Speech Preparation Task

	Pretask baseline		Speech preparation task
Variable	M	SD	M	SD
HR	77.21	13.26	96.60	20.48^***
FPA	2.07	0.34	1.69	0.52^***
PTF	0.24	0.02	0.23	0.02^**
PTE	0.19	0.04	0.17	0.02^***

Note. Asterisks indicate changes significantly different from resting baseline measures by within-subject t tests (df = 38).

HR = heart rate in beats per minute; FPA = finger pulse amplitude in millivolts; PTF = pulse transmission time to the finger in milliseconds; PTE = pulse transmission time to the ear in milliseconds.
