Abstract
Cognitive fatigue is a complex psychobiological state that usually presents as a symptom or as a common occurrence alongside various, highly prevalent conditions and illnesses. As a result, the effects of cognitive fatigue, including a lack of concentration, attention, motivation and lethargy, can greatly impact quality of life and ability to work. Self-report measures, which are important for the understanding of an individual’s subjective perspective, are currently used within clinical settings to gauge the impact of cognitive fatigue on a day-to-day basis. However, subjective feelings of cognitive fatigue can, for a variety of reasons, vary from an individual’s ability to perform a task well, which stems from their objective level of cognitive fatigue. Therefore, pursuing and establishing a widely used and accessible objective cognitive fatigue measure would be invaluable when considering return-to-work protocols and objective comparisons between participant and/or patient populations. To begin this process, identifying components of a reliable, objective cognitive fatigue measure is paramount. To this end, the aim of this systematic review is to identify and evaluate methods already being used throughout literature for the measurement of objective cognitive fatigue levels. The culmination of appropriate measurement techniques will allow for suggestions for future research, as well as providing comprehensive guidance to other researchers looking to incorporate a measurement technique within their own objective cognitive fatigue studies.
