Abstract
Although hypoxia is believed to occur above altitudes of 10,000 ft, some have
suggested that effects may occur at lower altitudes. This pilot study explored risk
judgments under conditions of mild hypoxia (simulated altitude of 8,000 ft). Some
evidence of an increased optimism was found at this level, suggesting the need for a
larger scale study with more experimental power.
