The purpose of this research was to identify the relationship between task performance and menstrual cycle. The difference of performance on menstrual cycle phase was investigated. The task was the mental arithmetic task which involved the non-sequential and higher order cognitive processes. The duration of the experiment was twenty minutes. Two-way analysis of variance by repeated-measures design was used to examine the differences in task performance between phases and temporal variations. Results showed that there was a significant difference in correct input time during temporal variations though there was no significant difference between phases. Moreover, the relationships between phases and intra-individual variations in task performance were examined using coefficient of variance (CV). CVs were plotted in three dimensions to examine the relationships between intra-individual variations and phases. Based on CVs, the subjects who showed differences were classified into two groups: those with a small difference in three phases and those with a difference every phase. The phase which indicated large CV changed with individuals.

“…The menstrual cycle most noticeably accounts for intra-individual variations among individuals. Anse et al(1994) and Kasamatsu et al(2002Kasamatsu et al( , 2003 investigated the effects of the menstrual cycle on various tasks, and reported fluctuation in task performance coincident with the menstrual cycle. Dalton and Holton(1999) reported that certain mental and physical capacities change in women in relation to the menstrual cycle.…”

The task performance and a questionnaire survey using the modified MDQ (Menstrual Distress Questionnaire) were examined for phases of the menstrual cycle. The lower abdomen was warmed using a body warmer to palliate menstrual associated symptoms. The effect of palliation using this folk remedy on the task performance was examined. The experimental tasks consisted of clicking on randomly displayed targets and a single tracking task. The task performance and MDQ score were measured as measurement indices. As the results, the precision of task during menstruation was lower than during the follicular phase. There were many complaints regarding menstrual associated symptoms during menstruation. The palliation treatment did not relieve the negative symptoms experienced by the subjects.
