EFFECT OF HYPOXIA ON LEARNED AND MOTOR RESPONSES: PHARMACOTHERAPEUTIC APPROACHES TO HYPOXIA

Abstract

Several types of investigations were carried on which can be categorized as follows: (1) The effects of carbon dioxide and/or carbonic anhydrase inhibition on performance and neural reactivity in low oxygen environments. (2) The effects of carbon dioxide and/or 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.
