    Changes in Attention and Mental Rotation Performance in Relation To Luminance Variations in Educational Spaces
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020) Öner, Merve; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe
    This paper attempts to investigate attention and mental rotation performance of students under two groups of luminance ratios in the visual field during VDT work. Each experiment was conducted under daylit conditions and consisted of two trials (with and without shading device) which were carried out in one experimental session. Twenty university students were recruited as participants to perform cognitive test as well as to administer subjective evaluations in a mock-up VDT station. Luminance ratios were grouped based on the ratios between bright light and direct surroundings. Results showed that the students gave faster responses for finding the correct target when the luminance distribution was not uniform whereas the number of correct answers given was higher when the luminance distribution was uniform. Subjective sensation of visual discomfort and lighting appraisal were in the same trend, indicating uniform luminance distribution was more appreciated by the participants. Based on these findings, the study provides additional insights in the effect of luminance patterns on individuals' performance, health and wellbeing in educational buildings. © 2020 IEEE.

    Analysis of the Relationship Between Daylight Illuminance and Cognitive, Affective and Physiological Changes in Visual Display Terminal Workers
    (SAGE Publications Inc., 2019) Öner, Merve; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; Leccese, F.; Salvadori, G.
    This study explored the impact of daylight illuminance on cognitive load during visual display terminal use by means of various physiological, performance and subjective measures. Repeated-measures design was adopted to identify the impact of variations in daylight levels that were manipulated through the shading system configurations (shading-on; shading-off). A total of 30 subjects performed visual and cognitive demanding tests. Performance measures were supported by subjective data and eye-related measures during the experimental analysis. Results revealed that the use of a shading system had positive impact on sustained attention. Concerning ocular measures, percentage of eye closure values showed opposite tendencies among vigilance and sustained attention demanding tests. Eye aspect ratio-max and blink duration were significantly correlated with reported glare sensation. In all tests, eye aspect ratio-max was found significantly higher in lower illuminances. Search velocity was significantly correlated with ocular variables in higher illuminances whereas sustained attention showed an opposite trend. This, initially, explains that even slight differences in daylight illuminance might have distinctive effects on the relationship between different groups of assessment variables while measuring cognitive load. Secondly, it proves the significance of carrying out sensitive experiments in terms of both light levels and test characteristics.
