✦ Synopsis
Twenty-four male subjects performed a visual vigilance task under various temperature conditions (70, 82 and 90°F) Effective Temperature, °FET). They determined for themselves when they desired a rest from monitoring. Those subjects selecting 'long' sessions had both poorer performance scores and less accurate time estimates than their peers. The subjects in general did a poor job of relating their own thermal discomfort, drowsiness, boredom, estimates of job performance and preference for the task to their actual score and/or time on duty. No significant temperature effects were noted.
