Comparing the concepts of mental load and stress

Ergonomics, 1993
This paper delineates mental load and stress as two related concepts that originate from different theoretical frameworks. A proper distinction between the two concepts is important, not only for theory building, but because it may lead also to different interpretations of experimental results, and, consequently, to different recommendations in applied

Blinking and Mental Load

Psychological Reports, 1972
The rate of blinking is related to certain mental activities. One common feature of states associated with low blink rates is the presence of concentrated cognitive activity. The purpose of the present study was to determine how blinking is affected by variations in mental load; it was hypothesized that, for a given nonvisual task, blinking would ...

Physiological Parameters of Mental Load

Ergonomics, 1971
Abstract The term mental load can be used for the implications of tasks calling on the information handling capacity of man. The essential aspects of the terms ‘ load ’ and ‘ capacity ’, as used in work physiology, are valid for mental load in the following ways: the question of the physiological ‘ costs ’ (biological consequences) of a given ...

Mapping Mental Load in Car Driving

Ergonomics, 1978
Abstract A system is being developed which permits the identification of traffic locations which impose a heavy mental load on the car driver. The method employs a car equipped with a video-recorder, of which the camera is mounted behind the windscreen, continuously recording the independent variable of traffic load.

Cardiac responses to demanding mental load

Ergonomics, 1980
The interbeat interval, peripheral blood flow and respiration waveform of 14 subjects were measured during three mental tests of different intensity and during 10 min recovery time after each test. The signals were analysed using a general statistical package and a spectrum analysis procedure. It was shown that the respiration frequency component moved

Water-Loading Test in Mental Diseases

Archives of Neurology And Psychiatry, 1959
Water metabolism in mental diseases is an interesting problem. Earlier findings have been summarized by Altschule 1 in 1953. He recalled the widely divergent factors complicating this matter. Emotional experiences have a profound influence on water metabolism. 2 Both emotional and physical stimuli can inhibit diuresis by releasing antidiuretic hormone.

Mental Load in Clerical Work

Proceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting, 1976
In the domain of clerical work increasing rationalization and automatization have caused conditions with tayloristic attributes, analogous to industrial work. Therefore it is required to do increased research work on the conditions of work load and on psychological strain in clerical work.
