Summary

This study investigates the effects of light wavelengths on cognitive processes during the daytime, using short- and middle-wavelength lights, and finds that exposure to short-wavelength light increases the amount of attentional resource allocated to a cognitive task.

Categories

Cognitive function and memory: The paper investigates how exposure to different light wavelengths during the daytime affects cognitive processes, specifically attentional resources allocated to a cognitive task.

Alertness and performance: The paper discusses how exposure to short-wavelength light during the daytime can increase alertness and performance on a cognitive task.

Lighting Design Considerations: The paper's findings on the effects of different light wavelengths on cognitive function and alertness could have implications for lighting design, particularly in environments where cognitive tasks are performed.
