The study reveals that boredom can be more fatiguing than task difficulty during cognitive tasks.
Distinct temporal patterns of boredom and task difficulty related efforts were identified throughout the tasks.
Electrodermal activity served as a physiological indicator for boredom related effort but not for difficulty related effort.
The findings highlight the need to differentiate between boredom and task difficulty to understand effort in performance better.
