This paper deals with the problem of estimating the effort required to maintain a static pose by human beings. The problem is important in developing effective pose classification as wells as in developing models of human attention. We estimate the human pose effort using two kinds of body constraints – skeletal constraints and gravitational constraints. The extracted features are combined toge...

BACKGROUND The Theory of Learned Industriousness states that durable individual differences in industriousness are due in part to differences in the extent to which individuals were rewarded for high effort at an earlier time. Individuals rewarded for high effort during training are thought to generalize greater persistence to subsequent tasks than those rewarded for low effort. This study test...
