Summary
This study investigates the effects of illuminance level on cognitive task performance, specifically working memory, and how these effects may depend on task difficulty and time of day.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper investigates how illuminance level affects cognitive task performance, specifically working memory, and how these effects may depend on task difficulty and time of day.
Alertness and performance: The paper discusses how illuminance level can affect alertness and performance during the biological day, and how these effects may depend on task difficulty and time of day.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the effects of different illuminance levels (200 lux vs. 1000 lux at eye level) on cognitive task performance, which could have implications for lighting design in environments where cognitive tasks are performed.
