(a) Mean intensity ratings for the four different conditions. Bonferroni corrected paired sample t‐tests revealed that intensity ratings for painful, but not warm, stimuli differed significantly per task condition (distraction vs. control). (b) Mean unpleasantness ratings for the four different conditions. Bonferroni corrected paired sample t‐tests revealed that unpleasantness ratings for painful, but not warm, stimuli differed significantly per task condition (low vs. high load). Error bars reflect ± SD. Note that warm stimuli were significantly less intense and unpleasant than painful stimuli, irrespective of task difficulty, p < 0.001. For simplification, these differences are not marked as significant in the figure. ***p < 0.001
