Cognitive effort in contextual interference and implicit motor learning
… implicit motor learning from the perspective of cognitive effort. Three key outcomes have emerged. First, from a theoretical perspective, the thesis offers a previously unexplored account for the contextual interference effect – one that potentially explains the paradoxical findings between …

Motivation to expend physical and cognitive effort as predictors of functioning in major depression
… of impaired functioning are understudied. Cognitive deficits is one known mechanism of functional impairment in MDD. However, treatments that remediate cognitive functioning do not seem to produce commensurate gains in day-to-day functioning. Current models of functioning in MDD do not take …

Antecedents and Functional Outcomes of Motivation to Expend Physical and Cognitive Effort in Early Psychosis
… difficulties with making decisions to allocate effort for physical and cognitive tasks than their healthy peers. Research has yet to elucidate how these effort allocation difficulties interact with illness factors and environment systems to bring about functional impairments in the real-world. …

Biometric Analysis of Emotional Responses and Cognitive Effort to Stimuli in Euhydrated versus Hypohydrated States
… from 42.67 to 90.67 (p = 0.004). Mental effort measurements, using fixations within the area of interest over time (seconds), increased across the video commercial and the still image viewing, with significance in image 1 and 3 from euhydrated to hypohydrated. Engagement scores increased …

Investigating the neurobiology regulating cognitive effort allocation using a rodent model of cost/benefit decision making
… frequently encountered by humans is the cost of cognitive effort, in which executive processes spanning attention, working memory, reasoning, and the like are taxed. This form of effort is in contrast to the physical effort costs that have generally been the focus of the cost/benefit …

Understanding Consumers' Digital Data Disclosure Decision-Making: A Focus on Data Sharing Cooperations, Perceived Risks and Low-Cognitive-Effort Processing
… aspect in privacy research is the impact of low-cognitive-effort decision-making. This is because the privacy calculus, the most dominant theory in privacy research, assumes for consumers a purely cognitive effortful and deliberative disclosure decision-making process. Therefore, to expand this …

Effects of Proactive and Retroactive Augmented Information on Physiological Responses in Learning a Novel Motor Skill
… of these findings are related to the cognitive effort invested by participants during motor skill acquisition. The present study extended previous research by utilizing the physiological index, power spectral analysis of heart rate variability, previously shown to be sensitive to the …

CONDITIONS OF PRACTICE FOR PERCEPTUAL-COGNITIVE SIMULATION TRAINING IN SPORT
… practice, retention and transfer of perceptual-cognitive skill, specifically anticipation in tennis. First, from the motor skills literature, the contextual interference (CI) effect was investigated for the first time in perceptual-cognitive skill training. A blocked and random schedule of …

Can Engineers Be Primed to Think in Systems? An Empirical Study Showing the Effects of Concept Mapping on Engineering Students' Ability to Explore the Design Space
… and length of responses were used as measures of cognitive effort. The number of systems mentioned and the semantic distance between words used in each response were the metrics used for exploration of the design space. Results of the analysis for one of the tasks were significant. The findings …

Situational and individual factors of reactive cognitive control: examining feedback and motivation
… study examined the influences of individuals’ cognitive intrinsic motivation and the presence or absence of feedback on a cognitive task that encouraged reactive cognitive control. I hypothesized that the presence of feedback would facilitate faster responses. I also hypothesized that cognitive …

Senior leaders’ perceptions of an employee engagement program in a medical school department : a single case study.
… data sources with the three dimensions—physical, cognitive, and emotional effort—of Kahn’s (1990) work engagement theory, which was the theoretical framework for the study. The findings of this study revealed six themes regarding employee engagement as perceived by senior leaders. First, senior …

Information quantity, information consistency, and the confidence of unsophisticated investors
… This relation is not explained by an increase in cognitive effort, suggesting a direct effect of information quantity on confidence. The effect of increased quantity reduces investors' expected and actual wealth in simulated experimental markets, while the effect of consistency on wealth depends …

Task-Dependent Oscillatory Brain Activity During Oculomotor Delayed Response Task
… Response (ODR) tasks to investigate the unique cognitive demands during the delay period. Changes in alpha power were used to index cognitive efforts during the delay period. Continuous EEGs from 25 healthy young adults (18-34 years) were recorded using dense electrode array. The data was …

Psychometric Properties of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) FBS-r, Fs, and RBS Scales in a Neuropsychological Setting
… a stand-alone measure of symptom validity/cognitive effort, and neuropsychological indicators commonly used in assessment batteries. Results of this study supported the clinical utility of the RBS, FBS-r, and Fs, though RBS demonstrated superior predictive utility by explaining performance …

Experiential and Neurobiological Influences on Economic Preferences and Risky Decision Making
… arousal is associated with the level of cognitive effort needed to calculate expected utility. Finally, we show that arousal reflects cognitive effort associated with resisted selecting a more salient option.

On second thought: Low-effort thought promotes hierarchy values
… and political conservatism is promoted with low-effort thought. Does low-effort thought similarly promote the conservative value of hierarchy while reducing the value of equality? Values are conceptualized as stable, yet research suggests that values may be processed with automatic and controlled …
