The moment you prepare for your driving test, there is nothing wrong - your movements aresmooth, you can see on the road and you know what to do. During the driving test is often adifferent story - the tension rises, you think more about your movements and / or fewer items you see on the road than you would normally see. This last phenomenon, this article, our perceptionis affected by stress.
Stress is a physical and a mental component. On a physical level increases our arousal due tostress hormones circulating in our body (adrenaline, cortisol, noradrenaline). Our blood pressure rises and our blood moves part of our digestive organs to the muscles - ready to take action. This voltage is very noticeable - we sweat, can often feel our heartbeat and breathinggoing faster.
Mentally, there is much research on stress (including researchers from NASA). Stress appearsto influence our mental reserves in the negative (we have less mental bandwidth 'on, so lessprocessing power). The capacity of our memory and our information is so strongly affected bysuch stress. In summary, the research down to two points:
By tension we take less things (we observe a kind of tunnel vision)
The things we see, we process shallower (because we have less mental reserves)
Dealing with stress is to learn various techniques for this are in circulation. PEX uses acombination of cognitive, physical and imaginative exercises, supplemented by coaching whiledelivering the performance.
