This paper examines the effect of individual skill level upon task performance in transient extreme heat. A summary of published data suggests that individuals who are skillful at the task are better able to withstand the detrimental effect of the stress exposure than their unskilled counterparts. Three theoretical explanations of such performance superiority are reviewed: behavioral arousal; attentional capacity; and automatic and controlled processing. It is concluded that the automatic and controlled information processing approach holds the greatest potential to account for this effect at the present time. It is suggested that the ability of skilled subjects who are able to resist the effect of heat stress may be a more general attribute of personnel who operate under a variety of non-optimal environmental conditions.
本文研究了个体技能水平对瞬态极端高温下任务绩效的影响。已发表数据的总结表明，在任务方面熟练的个体比不熟练的个体更能承受压力暴露的有害影响。本文回顾了对此类绩效优势的三种理论解释：行为唤醒；注意力容量；以及自动和受控加工。结论是，目前自动和受控信息加工方法最有可能解释这种影响。研究表明，能够抵抗热应激影响的熟练受试者的能力可能是在各种非最佳环境条件下操作的人员的一种更普遍的属性。
