Is perception of exertion a unique characteristic?
This study assessed the extent to which perception of exertion (RPE), as measured by Borg's 1971 scale using bicycle ergometry, is a unique perceptual trait. Correlations run for 35 subjects between RPE and a battery of seven perceptually oriented tasks were not significant, implying that RPE may be a unique perceptual ability.
