Money versus performance feedback: money associated with lower feelings of cognitive fatigue
The current study supports the role of reward in cognitive fatigue. Our results confirm well-established findings that money positively influences on-task behavior, especially when money is provided frequently. In a cognitively healthy sample, there is some evidence to suggest that money provided infrequently could decrease feelings of fatigue. Continued work is needed to understand how, and which, specific behavioral reward manipulations reduce fatigue, especially in clinical populations most affected by fatigue.
