Abstract
State anxiety effects on the Flanker and three versions of the Stroop task (two-choice, three-choice, and four-choice) were examined (n = 26). The impact of state anxiety on performance differed across the tasks. Implications are for deepening our understanding of stress-performance relationships using task-specific and self-report measures of stress.
