Título Influence of lighting sources of different spectral composition on ability to perform mental tasks, and on selected physiological functions
Título original Einfluss von Beleuchtungsquellen unterschiedlicher spektraler Zusammensetzung auf Leistung bei geistiger Arbeit und ausgewählte physiologische Funktionen [en alemán]
Información bibliográfica July 1980, Vol.30, No.7, p.241-248. Illus. 26 ref.
Resumen Literature survey on the effects of the spectral composition of light; description of arithmetic performance test methods and results of these tests in lighting conditions from 3 different types of source (fluorescent, halide, high-pressure sodium vapour: performance criteria (time taken for arithmetic tests, percentage of correct solutions), physiological reactions (heart rate, respiratory indices), work rhythm and pulse rate depending on type of light source. The best results are obtained with sodium-vapour lighting. It is probable that this type of lighting (which contains a higher proportion of long waves) stimulates the performers' activity more than the other types of lighting.
