“We show that the battle for the thermostat is not just about the comfort,” a co-author of the study told Newsweek.
Women think better in warmer rooms, while men work better in lower temperatures. That's according to scientists.
The authors wrote that the women performed better on math and verbal tests in the warmer room, while the reverse was true for men. The temperature, however, didn’t seem to change the results of the cognitive tests for men or women. “We show that the battle for the thermostat is not just about the comfort. It is much more—in our experiment, women’s cognitive functioning is the best at high temperatures, whereas men’s [is] at low temperatures. Importantly, the positive effect of increased temperatures on women’s performance is much stronger than the negative effect on men.”
Wei Luo, a Ph.D. student at Maastricht University working with van Marken Lichtenbelt, said the methods were limited, because there was a fixed order of the different tests, meaning the participants may have become tired and that could explain why only the later tests showed a significant temperature effect. “This makes comparison between tests difficult,” said LuoHe.
