Abstract

The hypothesis that fatigue transfer is proportional to the number of identical elements in the two tasks between which the transfer occurs was tested. It is possible to select logically identical elements in the two stimulus-response situations. In alternating between two tasks the level of performance, and the fatigue decrement developing in each task, is proportional to the number of identical elements in the two tasks. The performance employed consisted in copying alphabet sequences, such as abcabc, abdabd, afeafe, etc. The logical common elements are, in the three cases, the identical letters. Work decrement was the basis of comparison. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
