Study Summary

The goal of this proposal is to understand the common and distinct behavioral and neural representations of subjective effort valuation, and how these representations are influenced by fatigue and changes in motivation. It is hypothesized that the brain will use overlapping and distinct neural circuits to represent cognitive and physical effort value, and that fatigue and enhanced motivation will influence the subjective value of effort.

Primary Outcome

Choice data will be fit to a model of the form u(x) = x\^rho. The parameter rho is indicative of individuals' subjective preferences for effort. We will test if participants cognitive subjective effort parameters will be significantly different than zero. Effort levels will be expressed as a percentage of each individual's maximum exertion capacity. This will ensure that comparisons can be made between participants.
