Instruments: VISGED and AHA tests, Vienna Test System (2012). Results: The results confirm the hypotheses obtaining strong positive correlation between the variables measured with the two tests (p<0.05). Conclusions: The motivation induced to the subjects the concentration and attention, obtaining better reaction time and accuracy for the stimuli. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
