The study of statistical characteristics of adaptation process to monotonous activity

摘要

We describe the features of the occurrence of the "monotony" state in practically healthy young adults. The materials of processing results of experimental data of test subjects (N = 13, aged 29 ± 4.3 years, men) are presented. Mathematical processing of the reaction time of the subjects during a long test on the perception of visual objects allowed us to identify two different response scenarios of the subjects, associated with more and less resistance to the occurrence of monotony in the process of uniform cognitive load. The differentiation of the subjects into two subgroups is confirmed by other objectively calculated characteristics (the number of erroneous decisions and average reaction time). The observed effects may be associated with the ability of the nervous system to adapt to prolonged stress.
