Abstract
Trauma-exposed participants and no-trauma controls completed a change detection task using complex naturalistic scenes to test the relations between trauma exposure, hypervigilance, and change detection performance. Trauma-exposed participants were more accurate in detecting changes (t(220)=2.02, p=0.04, d=0.28), suggesting that trauma-related hypervigilance might be indexed behaviorally via this task.
