Test Anxiety and Ineffective Test Taking: Different Names, Same Construct?
Paulman, Ronald G.; Kennelly, Kevin J.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v76 n2 p279-88 Apr 1984
Exam-skilled, high-anxious college students performed comparably with skilled, low-anxious peers on the Raven Advanced Progressive Matrices, yet significantly worse on the concurrent backward Digit Span test. Conversely, high-anxious, unskilled subjects were exceeded by low-anxious, unskilled peers on both tasks. (Author/BW)
