D. Delignieres et J. Brisswalter, INFLUENCE OF AN ADDED PERCEPTUAL-MOTOR TASK ON PERCEIVED EXERTION - ATEST OF THE DISSOCIATION EFFECT, Perceptual and motor skills, 78(3), 1994, pp. 855-858
This experiment showed that adding a perceptual motor task to an effor
t session on a cycloergometer for 4 men and 4 women led to an increase
in perceived exertion. This effect is opposite to the dissociative ef
fect classically reported in the literature. These contrasting results
are analyzed according to the rate of processing imposed by the added
task.
