Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sensor attached to the palm is most likely measuring the level of sweat on the skin, as a measure of galvanic skin response (GSR). GSR is an indicator of physiological arousal and can be used to measure emotional responses to stimuli. Palmar index and cephalopalmaric response are not recognized terms in the field of psychology or physiology, and general adaptation response is a term used in stress research but is not specifically related to measuring physiological arousal through GSR.
