Previous experiments (1.2) showed that performance of of a pursuit rotor task is worse during heating than during cooling at deep body temperatures of 37.9-38.5 degrees C. Performance of the same task and of a manikin task has now been studied in a similar experiment while core temperature was cycled between 37.0 and 37.6 degrees C. No change in performance was observed between heating and cooling. It is concluded that decrements in performance during heating only develop above a critical absolute level of deep body temperature. The critical level of deep body temperature, above which performance of the rotary pursuit task is degraded, is 37.6-37.9 degrees C, and this can be related to affective thermal sensation.
先前的实验（1.2）表明，在深部体温为37.9 - 38.5摄氏度时，进行追踪转子任务时，加热期间的表现比冷却期间差。在一项类似实验中，当核心温度在37.0至37.6摄氏度之间循环时，对同一任务和人体模型任务的表现进行了研究。加热和冷却期间未观察到表现有变化。得出的结论是，仅在深部体温高于临界绝对水平时，加热期间的表现才会下降。旋转追踪任务表现下降的深部体温临界水平为37.6 - 37.9摄氏度，这可能与情感热感觉有关。
