The Problem of Intellectual Fatigue
Abstract
If we confine ourselves to the phenomena concerned, we designate by fatigue a condition of our organism that is developed by long-continued work, and that, in addition to other symptoms, is characterized in particular by a reduction in capacity for, and pleasure in, work. When we work we do not get fatigued at once, but only at the end of a longer or shorter time during which the work remains perceptibly equal.Considering the psychophysical organism whose efficiency for work has been reduced, either by mental or physical work, we speak of two forms of fatigue(1) of bodily fatigue as fatigue for bodily work and(2) of mental fatigue as fatigue for mental work.
