A meta-analysis to mathematically summarize the effect of hot and cold temperature
exposure on performance was completed. The results from 515 effect sizes calculated from …

Objective: Quantify the effect of thermal stressors on human performance. Background: Most
reviews of the effect of environmental stressors on human performance are qualitative. A …

The effect of the thermal environment on performance and productivity has been a focus of
interest among indoor environmental researchers for nearly a century, but most of that work …

This paper discusses the current state of knowledge on the effects of heat stress on cognitive
performance. Although substantial research has been performed, it has proven difficult to …

High temperatures are one of the main causes of work safety accidents associated with
cognitive impairment. However, the effects of elevated ambient temperature on cognitive …

A wide array of variable conditions, tasks, subject populations, etc., have been included in
studies that have produced data on perceptual motor performance in the heat. This paper …

The objectives of this study were to (1) assess the effect of passive heating upon attention
and memory task performance, and (2) evaluate the effectiveness of the application of cold …

Cognitive function defines performance in objective tasks that require conscious mental
effort. Extreme environments, namely heat, hypoxia, and cold can all alter human cognitive …

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of a temperature of 29° C on performance in
tasks involving different cognitive demands and to assess the effect on perceived …

The physiological responses of thermal stress and its consequences on health have been
well documented. However, the effect on cognitive function remains equivocal despite a …
