Abstract

A batch of Naval personnel was kept in isolation under conditions of semi-starvation for a period of 5 days. It was observed that during this period there was no significant deterioration in the capacity of the subjects for mental effort. Feelings of tiredness and exhaustion which were reported by the subjects also appeared to be more an outcome of idleness and unwillingness to continue with the situation than the result of any serious physical weakness
