Abstract:
This article reviews the effects of the thermal environment on vigilance. A reinterpretation of early and contemporary studies contradicts the existing notion that vigilance is facilitated in ambient temperatures that exceed a comfortable level.

Abstract:
Studies reporting physiological responses as reflections of mental workload are reviewed briefly. The differing measures are located in a two-dimensional space whose axes represent first, practical application and second, relevance to actual central nervous system activity as viewed from spatial and systemic congruence.

Abstract:
Data pertaining to the variability of human force production as a function of the amount of force generated are synthesized in order to understand the basis for the discrepancies in previously reported estimates of this relation.
