Conscious cognitive effort in cognitive control [PDF]
WIREs Cognitive Science, 2022 Cognitive effort is thought to be familiar in everyday life, ubiquitous across multiple variations of task and circumstance, and integral to cost/benefit computations that are themselves central to the proper functioning of cognitive control. In particular, cognitive effort is thought to be closely related to the assessment of cognitive control’s costs.

Cognitive effort and memory. [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1979 We propose that the concept of cognitive effort in memory is both useful and important. Cognitive effort is defined as the engaged proportion of limitedcapacity central processing. It Was hypothesized that this variable might have important memorial consequences and might also be a potential confounding factor in levels-of-pro cessing paradigms.

On the misery of cognitive effort
, 2023 The effect of cognitive effort on mood is unclear. Expending cognitive effort is generally avoided but expenditure of cognitive effort is the primary feature of some popular recreational activities, such as sudoku or video games. However, one common confound is that previous studies mostly looked into mood changes before and after cognitive effort ...

Cognitive effort and active inference. [PDF]
Neuropsychologia, 2023 This paper aims to integrate some key constructs in the cognitive neuroscience of cognitive control and executive function by formalising the notion of cognitive (or mental) effort in terms of active inference. To do so, we call upon a task used in neuropsychology to assess impulse inhibition-a Stroop task.

Need for cognition moderates the relief of avoiding cognitive effort. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2023 When making decisions, humans aim to maximize rewards while minimizing costs. The exertion of mental or physical effort has been proposed to be one those costs, translating into avoidance of behaviors carrying effort demands. This motivational framework also predicts that people should experience positive affect when anticipating demand that is ...

Is it cognitive effort you measure? Comparing three task paradigms to the Need for Cognition scale. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2023 Measuring individual differences in cognitive effort can be elusive as effort is a function of motivation and ability. We report six studies (N = 663) investigating the relationship of Need for Cognition and working memory capacity with three cognitive

Cognitive effort for self, strangers, and charities. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 Abstract Effort is aversive and often avoided, even when earning benefits for oneself. Yet, people sometimes work hard for others. How do people decide who is worth their effort? Prior work shows people avoid physical effort for strangers relative to themselves, but invest more physical effort for charity.
