Interestingly, this pattern did not change when the individual performance in the creativity tasks was entered into the equation (as covariate) in the analyses of the performance groups (DT and CT), which rules out an account in terms of task difficulty and/or stress. The analysis of the physical arousal score revealed only one reliable effect: an interaction between creativity task and timepoint, F (1,80) = 6.11, p < 0.05, η 2 = 0.07, even though the three-way interaction with activity approached significance, F (1,80) = 3.24, p = 0.07, η 2 = 0.04.
