-	I am currently investigation the use of signal detection theory as an experimental paradigm to assess to influence of pain on attentional capacity. The modality of experimental pain induction is thermal stimulation. The working hypothesis is that as the temperatures of the stimuli increase, the associated magnitude of pain increases correspondingly. In doing so, the increased magnitude of pain may disrupt the attentional capacity of the observer such that the discrimination ability is reduced. This will be reflected in the observer’s lower sensitivity for the discrimination task. It may be that chronic pain sufferers perform poorer on discrimination tasks due to the disruptive nature of their clinical pain. However, further research is warranted to understand the mechanism for this disruptive nature of pain.	+
