Resumen:
Abstract?Glare is a common visual stressor of office work and in
today?s offices the prevalence of information and communication
technologies adds additional mental demands. The aim of this study
was to explore the role of light as a cognitive stressor in visual display
terminal (VDT) work. We used a large area light source in a 2 x 2 x 2
full factorial experimental design. We assessed cognitive efficiency
using the RTLX method and cognitive effectiveness using the RST
method in different lighting scenarios. The main effects analysis
showed lower working memory capacity for high luminance and large
source, with statistically significant lower cognitive performance in
prosaccade conditions. No statistically significant relationship was
found between cognitive efficiency and the experimental factors.
