A Psychometric Perspective on Psychophysiological Measures.
Tomarken, Andrew J.
Psychological Assessment, v7 n3 p387-95 Sep 1995
Psychophysiological measures are generally those in which electrodes measure central or autonomous nervous system or skeletomotor activity with the goals of establishing linkages between the measurement and specific psychological processes. Psychophysiological methods and the difficulties inherent in their use are discussed. Guidelines are presented for maximizing their reliability and utility. (SLD)
