Abstract

Paired-associate learning and vigilance detection tasks were used to evaluate two air-conditioning systems that differed in their control of temperatures and wind flow. In Experiment 1, a new system that simulates natural wind was found to facilitate students' paired-associate learning as compared to the existing system that consistently emitted the same wind flow. Experiment 2 measured subjects' vigilance detection in hit rates, false alarms and sensitivity and found that the new system's superiority in performance was based on its maintenance of sustained arousal.
