Summary
This study looked at how people with PTSD pay attention to their surroundings. Researchers used a change blindness test to see if patients are quicker to notice sudden changes, especially emotional ones. 80 adults with PTSD completed the study, which measured response times and eye movements. The goal was to better understand hypervigilance in PTSD, not to test a treatment.
