Abstract
Abstract : The present study investigated the effects of wearing various MOPP (Mission Oriented Protective Postures) levels on three cognitive problem solving tasks over 24 hours of testing. The results show that wearing MOPP level 4 significantly impairs cognitive problem solving compared to MOPP 2 and a NO-MOPP control. The impairment attributed to the MOPP 4 condition was principally in the rate of task completion in contrast to task accuracy. The rate of task completion also varied significantly as a function of both temporal and nontemporal factors. Keywords: Sustained operations, Chemical protective clothing, Cognitive performance, MOPP gear, Circadian rhythms.
