Objective: This study is aimed to observe the changes of Cognitive performance according to the temperature.
Methods: Twenty four subjects who don’t have hypersensitivity reaction to environment weather hot or cold and problem of mental and physical state. At first, subjects participated in response execution test in room temperature. After that, subjects were exposed to the hot (55 ℃) or cold (-7.4 ℃) room for ten minutes and took the test again after checking their body temperature. Details of the test were response execution and response selection. The test was analyzed by using SPSS 21.0 statistical program.
Results: Compared to the room temperature the Cognitive performance was averagely 0.207 seconds faster in a high temperature condition so there was a serious dissimilarity. The Cognitive performance was averagely 0.123 seconds slower in a low temperature that indicated a significant variation. Compared to the room temperature the response execution increased 2.250 pieces in a high temperature and thus there was a serious difference. It decreased averagely 0.188 pieces in a low temperature which demonstrated an important change.
Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between environmental temperature and response performance, adjusting the temperature according to the patient’s condition will increase the therapeutic effect.
