“…Several other researchers also reported that there were various other factors which could affect human SRT, with heat being crucial (Welford AT Fraser and Jackson also suggested that there might be a negative correlation between SRT and temperature, but the results appeared to be rather inconclusive [26]. Longer exposures, particularly associated with physical exertion, could result in dehydration and have a specific effect on performance and RT [27], which appeared to be true for our observation as well.…”

“…Many studies (1, 2, 5, 10) have been concerned with the asymptotic decline in performance with the passage of time, and most theoretical formulations (3,6,10) have dealt with this aspect of the problem. A decline in vigilance has also been observed as a function of exposure to noxious environmental stimuli, especially noise and heat (4,8,10,11). Decrements in vigilance due to heat have not been reported as consistently as decrements due to noise.…”

12 Ss in an army troop carrier were asked to detect and respond to obscure, randomly occurring signals under each of 4 field conditions: control––stationary vehicle, moderate noise and heat; moderate heat, noise, vibration (moving vehicle); intense heat, moderate noise, stationary vehicle; vibration (moving vehicle), high heat and noise. "Noise and vibration produced by the moving vehicle appreciably increased the median response times of the Ss. Further decrement occurred when heat was combined with noise and vibration, but the effect was relatively transitory. Heat alone had no apparent effect. Changes occurring as a function of elapsed time were not apparent."

The influence of fluctuations of atmospheric pressure on the functional state of the humans was studied during spring, autumn and winter seasons. Sensory-motor reaction time and selfreported wellbeing, activity and mood were used for evaluation of functional state. The inter-individual variations of those parameters were compared to meteorological parameters using rank order correlation and general linear model. It was found that atmospheric pressure fluctuations have a stronger negative effect with periods of 120-1200 s and 20-120 s on psychological self-assessment and with periods of 10-20 s and 5-10 s on sensory-motor reaction time than the fluctuations with other periods.
