Abstract

Previous studies have shown that performance of a simple, motor task may be degraded by heating the skin when the body temperature is above a critical level of 37.6 degrees C. The experiment reported here confirms these findings for performance in a simple flight simulator. The significance of the results is discussed with reference to flight in high-performance aircraft.
