Objective: In this review, we detail the impact of environmental stress on cognitive and
military task performance and highlight any individual characteristics or interventions which …

Formal modeling approaches to cognition provide a principled characterization of observed
responses in terms of a set of postulated processes, specifically in terms of parameters that …

Impairments in cognitive function, mood, and sleep quality occur following ascent to high
altitude. Low oxygen (hypoxia) and poor sleep quality are both linked to impaired cognitive …

Loss aversion is widely regarded as the most robust and ubiquitous finding in behavioural
economics. According to the loss aversion hypothesis, the subjective value of losses …

Decision makers often reject mixed gambles offering equal probabilities of a larger gain and
a smaller loss. This important phenomenon, referred to as loss aversion, is typically …

Hypoxic environments like those present at high altitudes may negatively affect brain
function. Varying levels of hypoxia, whether acute or chronic, are previously shown to impair …

Hypoxia remains the most important hazard in high altitude flights, but there is still a need for
deeper analysis of the effect of hypoxia exposition in the psychophysiological and cognitive …

When the cortisol peak is reached after a stressor people learn slower and make worse
decisions in the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT). However, the effects of the early stress response …

Objective To evaluate, under replicable, blinded and standardised conditions, the effect of
acute exposure to hypobaric hypoxia (HH)(equivalent to 200 or 3000 or 5000 m above sea …

Stress influences loss aversion, the principle that losses loom larger than gains, although
the nature of this relationship is unclear. Studies show that stress reduces loss aversion; …
