Abstract
The effects of hypoxia (oxygen lack) on human behavior are reviewed under the headings, sensory function, performance, and cognitive and other effects. It is noted that there is some conflicting experimental evidence and that investigators have tended to disregard contemporary developments in psychology. Suggestions for ameliorating this situation are made along with a plea for more rigorous experimentation.Keywords
