Note: Standard errors are in parentheses. Mean response times are rounded to the nearest millisecond. SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; HR = heart rate. SBP and DBP are in mmHg; HR is in beats per minute. Means for SBP, DBP, and HR are baseline-adjusted difference scores.
