Strong Effort Manipulations Reduce Response Caution:A Preregistered Reinvention of the Ego-Depletion Paradigm [PDF]

, 2020
People feel tired or depleted after exerting mental effort. But even preregistered studies often fail to find effects of exerting effort on behavioral performance in the laboratory or elucidate the underlying psychology.

A virtual reality simulation of a novel way to illuminate the surgical field – A feasibility study on the use of automated lighting systems in the operating theatre

Frontiers in Surgery, 2023
IntroductionSurgical lighting systems have to be re-adjusted manually during surgery by the medical personnel. While some authors suggest that interaction with a surgical lighting system in the operating room might be a distractor, others support the ...

Microtiming and Mental Effort [PDF]

Music Perception, 2019
The present study tested two assumptions concerning the auditory processing of microtiming in musical grooves (i.e., repeating, movement-inducing rhythmic patterns): 1) Microtiming challenges the listener's internal framework of timing regularities, or meter, and demands cognitive effort.

The use of augmented reality for inquiry-based activity about the phenomenon of seasons: effect on mental effort and learning outcomes

Frontiers in Education, 2023
Despite the profusion of studies on the use of augmented reality (AR) for teaching, the scientific results on the students’ learning do not fully converge.

A Video-Based Tactical Task Does Not Elicit Mental Fatigue and Does Not Impair Soccer Performance in a Subsequent Small-Sided Game

Sports, 2022
Mental fatigue can impair physical, technical, and tactical performance in sports. Since most previous research used general cognitive tasks to elicit mental fatigue, the aim of this study was to investigate whether a more sport-specific task could ...

What Is Mental Effort: A Clinical Perspective

Biological Psychiatry, 2023
Although mental effort is a frequently used term, it is poorly defined and understood. In neuroscience research, the term is used to mean both the cognitive ‘work’ that is done in meeting task demands, and the subjective experience of performing that work.
