Interaction EDA—
Learning Process
Experiential Behavioral Other Multimodal Results
[52] Differences before and after pass and fail events Multimodal - - Heart rate Correlation between heart rate and SCR
[53] - Increasing EDA during learning - - Heart rate, EEG No results
[54] - Variations in EDA during segments of learning Self-report anxiety - EEG Correlation between EDA and self-report (no results EDA—EEG)
[55] - U-shaped EDA during learning x x x x
[39] Positive correlation between science knowledge and changes in EDA Increasing EDA during learning x x x x
[56] Classifier with EDA to indicate Aha! Moment (83.66%) - - - Heart rate No results
[57] - Multimodal Self-report emotion Facial expression detection Mouse & chair pressure Predicting emotions during learning
[58] Tonic EDA predicts learning gain - - - EMG & ECG No results
[49] Change in tonic EDA over time predicts performance Self-report emotion - Heart rate, HRV, ECG No significant relations
[59] - Higher EDA in physical learning Self-report valence - Skin temperature No results
[60] Bigger learning gains when SCR after specific event - Self-report engagement - - No results
[46] - Multimodal Self-report emotion Facial expression detection - Relations between modalities
[61] Phasic EDA can predict learning Multimodal Self-report emotion - - SCL positively predicts anxiety and shame
[40] No association EDA and performance No difference baseline EDA and EDA during task Self-report worry - - No results
[62] - Multimodal Self-report emotion - EMG & ECG Predicting self-report with EDA
[63] - Decreasing EDA during learning (SCL) - - ECG No results
[36] Positive correlation EDA and performance Multimodal - - Skin temperature Positive correlation skin temperature and EDA
[50] Phasic EDA can predict performance - Self-report Facial expression detection - -
[64] - Multimodal - Facial expression detection - Negative (40%), neutral (33%), positive facial expressions (22%)—physiological synchrony
[65] High arousal relates to low performance - Self-report emotional problems Eye-tracking - No significant relations
[66] - EDA oral reading > silent reading (skilled readers) Self-report anxiety - Heart rate Positive correlation self-report anxiety and EDA (no results heart rate)
[33] Frequency of arousal periods correlates with performance Mean 60% low arousal, 24% medium, 17% high x x x
[67] - Multimodal - Facial expression detection, eye-tracking Heart rate, EEG, skin temperature High EDA correlates with high emotion, high heart rate, low mental workload, and memory load
[68] No association EDA and performance Multimodal Self-report Anxiety - - No significant relations
[69] - Increasing SCL during learning compared to baseline (not for SCR) Self-report arousal - Heart rate No significant relations
[70] - Increase in EDA during learning (more when active learning) Self-report emotion - - Correlation between EDA and negative emotions and positive emotions
[71] No significant relation EDA and performance on tasks Decrease EDA in two of three tasks Self-report emotion - - Correlation between EDA and self-reported emotion before the task

x means no multimodal approach, - means no information is given.
