Anxiety has been shown to reduce functioning in a wide range of cognitive abilities including executive function (EF; Qin, Hermans, van Marle, Luo & Fernandez, 2009). In the current study, an experimental paradigm was developed to measure the impact of induced state anxiety on EF performance. A specific focus was placed on how the impact of state anxiety on EF changes along with development. A total of 106 participants (52 female) participated in the study. The participants ranged in age from 10 to 35 years, and were analyzed as a part of three specific age groups, the pre-adolescent (10 to 13 years-old), the adolescent (14 to 17 years-old), and the adult groups (18 to 35 years-old). An experimental paradigm based on existing methods of ind...
