Abstract:

Several types of investigations were carried on which can be categorized as follows 1 The effects of carbon dioxide andor carbonic anhydrase inhibition on performance and neural reactivity in low oxygen environments. 2 The effects of carbon dioxide andor carbonic anhydrase inhibition on blood gases and acid-base balance in low oxygen environments. 3 The effects of motivation on performance in low oxygen environments. 4 The effects of past experience in low oxygen upon performance in subsequent exposures. 5 The effects of schedules of reinforcement on performance in low oxygen. 6 The conditionability of the deleterious effects of hypoxia, i.e. the association of previously neutral environmental stimuli with the deleterious effects of hypoxia.
