the researcher is using this questionnaire to measure general stress rather than a measure of acute stress. Here it is predicted that‚ compared to baseline session‚ acute examination stress would result in a significant increase in cortisol. Consistent with previous work on acute stress and memory‚ it is further predicted that compared to baseline performance‚ examination stress would enhance memory performance. In line with previous work on gender differences in stress response‚ it is also

to find a huge difference as for the money and of how relevant it was to humans. An example would be when an “unscheduled DNA synthesis” animal test costs up to $32‚000‚ while the “in vitro” alternative costs up to $11‚000. Another example is the “rat phototoxicity test” which has the cost of $11‚500 whereas the non-animal test is $1300. To cut down on the money the government is wasting on animal testing‚ at the very least cuts on useless or impractical experiments like drug abuse‚ obesity‚ and
