EFFECTS OF NORMAL AIR AND DEXTRO-AMPHETAMINE UPON WORK DECREMENT INDUCED BY OXYGEN IMPOVERISHMENT AND FATIGUE

摘要

Following medical examination and familiari¬zation with mask breaching and leak-check procedures, 64 young, male, basic airmen volunteers were given 50 minutes of practice at a compensatory pursuit task involving simulated aircraft indicators and controls. Upon completion of practice, subjects were randomly assigned to two drug treatments, placebo and d-amphetamine, 5 mg., then required to perform the task for 4 consecutive hours at ground level.
