Abstract:

The research was concerned with the development of an approach to and methods for the prediction of human performance under conditions of environmental and informational stress. Emphasis was put upon attention and short-term memory in relation to temperature, noise and hypoxia, and to the development of attentional criteria of conditions which may be thought of as overstressing. This was done within a systematic context which relates physiological regulatory mechanisms to behavioral mechanisms. Author
