| Abstract |
An earlier experiment (see CIS 72-1098), had failed to show any evidence of additive effects in the case of combined exposure to heat, noise and vibration stress. This result was confirmed in the present study, which also indicated that human performance was more impaired in vibration exposure alone than in combined exposure to all 3 stresses. An attempt is made to explain this apparently antagonistic stress interaction, which appears to be due to incrased motivation and application of effort by the subjects during the combined exposures rather than to any physiological effect. |
