Evidence for effects of task difficulty but not learning on neurophysiological variables associated with effort

Learning to master a task is expected to be accompanied by a decrease in effort during task execution. We examine the possibility to monitor learning using physiological measures that have been reported to reflect effort or workload. Thirty-five participants performed different difficulty levels of the n-back task while a range of physiological...

Progress report for 2013 on the Behaviour and Innovation Enabling Technology Programme Knowledge as Power with reference to the themes for 2011-2014

The ‘Behaviour and Innovation’ Enabling Technology Programme (ETP) was set up in 2011 with the object of developing generic knowledge concerning the explanation and modification of human behaviour, organizations and systems. A multidisciplinary, multi-level approach embracing the whole of TNO is used to develop models, methods and toolboxes that...

Physiological stain during load carrying

Evaluatie van harde bifocale contactlenzen voor de krijgsmacht [Evaluation of rigid bifocal contact lenses for the Dutch Armed Forces]

To determine the effectiveness of rigid bifocal contact lenses for military personnel, three types of lenses were compared: monovision, concentric bifocal, and diffractive. The subjective comfort, clinical status, and a number of visual functions were tested after 1 week and 4 weeks of daily wear. The diffractive and simultaneous vision lenses...

Medical incidences during centrifuge training and F-16 flying in the Netherlands

A survey in the NAMC database containing the records of centrifuge runs of candidate and experienced pilots revealed that in 15.1% of the centrifuge training sessions, a run was stopped. The major reasons were motion sickness (31%), fatigue (28%), and arrhythmias (22%). During centrifuge training at the NAMC the prevalence of an episode of supra...

Physiological strain due to load carriage

In an experimental study of load carrying the effects of mass (0, 5.4, 10.4 kg) and the type of support (on the shoulder or on waist) on parameters of physiological strain were quantified to determine the factor(s) which limit carrying time. Four categories of strain were investigated: metabolic (in terms of oxygen uptake), cardiovascular (in...

Loss of performance due to IPE, what's known

In a literature survey the effects of wearing CW protective clothing on performance are structured on basis of a proposed scheme. In this scheme the effects of five types of stress, due to wearing of the CW protective clothing are quantified on three levels of military performance i.e. individual, crew and tactical performance. It is concluded...

Tendon series elasticity in triceps surae muscles of mammalians

In literature little attention is paid to the functional and morphological relationship between muscle and tendon in a muscle-tendon complex. In the present study the Achilles tendon (AT) of man and rat was investigated with special attention to functional and morphological characteristics of the gastrocnemius muscle (GA) and soleus muscle (SO).
