TY - JOUR PY - 1935// TI - A preliminary investigation of the effects of mental distraction upon muscular fatigue JO - Journal of experimental psychology A1 - Ryans, D. G. SP - 148 EP - 151 VL - 18 IS - 1 N2 - Evidence is presented which indicates that mental activity, such as is involved in reading, tends to reduce organic fatigue effects in some individuals, in so far as such effects may be indicated by work decrement in ergograph operation. The results are attributed to withdrawal of attention from the cumulative feeling of tiredness. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
