A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE ON HUMAN PERFORMANCE

Abstract

This bibliography lists technical reports and journal articles dealing with human performance under both high and low ambient temperatures. The articles and reports have been grouped into sections covering five major performance areas: (1) Sensory Thresholds and Simple Reaction Time, (2) Attention and Perception, (3) Psychomotor Performance, (4) Heavy or Prolonger Physical Work, and (5) Mental Performance. A sixth section of the bibliography lists references which review portions of the literature. All the references have been coded as to whether they deal primarily with the effects of high or low ambient temperatures. An author index is included.
