  1. Listener fatigue

    Listener fatigue occurs when the ear tunes out unwanted noise s and focuses on the wanted ones. When listening to music for example, the Loudspeaker speaker s may give off an unwanted hissing noise that the person has to focus out, causing Listener Fatigue . This is an extension of the Equal loudness contour quantifiable psychological perception of sound , adding time variance effects. If listeners get fatigued when listening to a radio station they may tune out, and either consciously or unconsciously they may come to avoid listening to that station. Data reduction systems are another possible reason why listener fatigue can creep in. The constant quest for loudness war greater loudness , an obsession with pushing levels to the maximum, and a lack of understanding of the ways in which digital equipment can generate distortion all seem to lead to an increase in listener fatigue. Fact date February 2009 However, the understanding of what causes fatigue is still relatively limited.

  1. Voter fatigue

    voting Unreferenced date June 2008 In politics , voter fatigue is the voter apathy apathy that the electorate can experience when they are required to vote too often. It is often used as a criticism of the direct democracy system, in which voters are constantly asked to decide on policy via Referendum referenda . However, proponents often counter that voter fatigue may be lessened by direct democracy as voters will feel their vote has more effect. Voter fatigue can cause notoriously low voter turnout rates, and potentially more protest vote , and supposedly occurs for a variety of reasons voters are not interested in the issue. voters are bothered by the inconvenience of physically voting. voters feel their vote will not count the election has already been won by one side. voters feel that it is not worth their while to educate themselves as to the issues and hence their vote would not be worth making. This is related to the concept of rational ignorance . voters have to vote for too many institutions too often . Amongst the methods that can be used to combat voter fatigue are Making it mandatory to vote, as e.g. in Australian electoral system Australia , Elections in Belgium Belgium or Elections in Brazil Brazil . Using sortition to choose those eligible to vote thus increasing the worth of a single vote . E democracy , proxy voting and delegated voting . Category Elections election stub ...   more details

  1. Olfactory fatigue

    Olfactory fatigue or adaptation is the temporary, normal inability to distinguish a particular odor after a prolonged exposure to that airborne compound ref Odors chapter, Fundamentals volume of the ASHRAE Handbook , ASHRAE, Inc., Atlanta, GA, 2005 ref . For example, when entering a restaurant initially the odor of food is often perceived as being very strong, but after time the awareness of the odor normally fades to the point where the smell is not perceptible or is much weaker. After leaving the area of high odor, the sensitivity is restored with time. Anosmia is the permanent loss of the sense of smell, and is different from olfactory fatigue. It is a commonly used term in wine tasting , where one loses the ability to smell and distinguish wine bouquet after sniffing at wine s continuously for an extended period of time. The term is also used in the study of indoor air quality , for example, in the perception of odors from people, tobacco , and cleaning agents. Olfactory fatigue is an example of neural adaptation or sensory adaptation . Our bodies become desensitised to stimuli in order to prevent the overloading of our nervous system, thus allowing it to respond to new stimuli that are out of the ordinary .

  1. Password fatigue

The increasing prominence of information technology and the Internet in employment, finance, recreation and other aspects of people s lives, and the ensuing introduction of secure transaction technology, has led to people accumulating a proliferation of accounts and passwords. According to a 2002 survey of British online security consultant NTA Monitor, the typical intensive computer user has 21 accounts that require a password ref Hayday, Graham. http software.silicon.com security 0,39024655,11036760,00.htm Security nightmare How do you maintain 21 different passwords? , Silicon.com, 2002 12 11 Accessed 2008 11 25 ref . Aside from contributing to Stress medicine stress , password fatigue may encourage people to adopt habits that reduce the security of their protected information. For example, an account holder might use the same password for several different accounts, deliberately choose easy to remember passwords that are vulnerable to cracking , or rely on written records of their passwords. Other factors causing password fatigue are unexpected demands that a user create a new password unexpected demands that a user create a new password that uses particular pattern of letters, digits, and special characters demand that the user type the new password twice blind typing, both when responding to a password prompt and when setting a new password.
