I grew up in a suburb of London (UK), attended local schools, including Kingston Grammar School, and then spent four wonderful years as an undergraduate at Cambridge University. Inspired to study psychology, I then enrolled as a PhD student at Harvard University. My first academic job was at the University of Sussex, starting in October, 1967. In August, 1989 was appointed Professor of Psychology at the University of Sydney, where I have remained ever since and am currently Emeritus Professor of Psychology.

High Ambient Temperature Reduces Rate of Body-Weight Loss Produced by Wheel Running

Compared with a neutral AT of 218C, high ATs of 27-298C produced a slower rate of weight loss in rats given 1.5-hr food access and 22.5-hr running-wheel access in a standard activitybased anorexia (ABA) procedure (Experiments 1 and 2). The high AT did not affect food intake or wheel running in Experiment 1, but did reduce running in Experiment 2. Switching from neutral to high AT had only a transient effect on weight loss when wheel access was maintained (Experiment 2) but resulted in less weight loss when wheel access was prevented (Experiment 3). Giving rats only 3 hr of wheel access each day at a neutral AT also produced substantial weight loss, but less if for the rest of each day they were maintained at a high AT (Experiment 4).
