Abstract
The present study investigated the diagnosticity of autonomic space for heart rate by elucidating psychological-physiological mappings in a dual-task driving simulation. Based on the results of previous studies, we predicted patterns of cardiac autonomic activity that would be elicited by dual-task driving with a verbal working memory side-task. The results generally suppor-ted the predictions made, and indicate that cardiac autonomic modes of control can be diagnostic with regard to the attentional processing resources used during task performance in the driving domain.
