The results of Experiments 1 through 8 indicated that participants cared more about picking up the bucket that had the shorter approach distance than they did about the physical effort associated with carrying the buckets to the targets. A reasonable concern about this conclusion is that the loads may not have been heavy enough to tax the muscle system. It is possible that participants judged the physical demands of the tasks to be too low to outweigh the cognitive demands. Alternatively, participants may have been oblivious to the buckets’ weight. participants were not oblivious to weight, their data would reflect a preference for the light bucket, and the pre-crastination effect would be weakened or perhaps even eliminated. We tested 24 Pennsylvania State University students to find out.
