title: Influence of an added perceptual motor task on perceived exertion: a test of the dissociation effect.
abstract: This experiment showed that adding a perceptual motor task to an effort session on a cycloergometer for 4 men and 4 women led to an increase in perceived exertion. This effect is opposite to the dissociative effect classically reported in the literature. These contrasting results are analyzed according to the rate of processing imposed by the added task.
