Fig. 2: Linear and quadratic effects of acute stress markers on children’s error rates.
From: Witnessing their mother’s acute and prolonged stress affects executive functioning in children
Effects of the AUCis (Area Under the Curve with respect to increase) of children’s and mothers’ stress markers on children’s error rates in the category-switching task (Mayr & Kliegl, 60) are depicted. Panels a–c represent the linear and quadratic effects of children’s subjective stress, heart rate, and cortisol. Panels d–f represent the corresponding effects of maternal stress markers. The grey shading represents the standard error (SE). Four data points per dyad (n = 75) are shown due to the 2×2 task structure.
