Effect of Low Humidity on Human Performance.
Abstract
Human volunteers were trained to high levels of proficiency on three tasks involving various degrees of psychomotor and cognitive skills. Environments of 0.5-mm. water vapor pressure and/or simulated 8,000-ft. barometric pressure had no adverse effects on performance during four 36-hour chamber exposures. Systematic day-night variations were found for Multidimensional Pursuit tracking skill and self-ratings of subjective fatigue. (Author)
