  1. SCR: Skin conductance response, SCL: Skin conductance level, RMSSD: Root mean square successive difference
  2. Note: BPD sample was composed by 9 subjects when SCR, SCL and Latency outcomes were considered
  3. Significant differences between groups are marked by identical superscripted letters (p < .05)
  4. *significant after Bonferroni correction
