Abstract
Two thousand years ago Publius Syrus said, “No pleasure endures unseasoned by variety.” In the eighteenth century Cowper expressed the same idea when he wrote, “Variety’s the very spice of life”— a maxim that motivates many people in their efforts to avoid routine and repetition in the pursuit of pleasures. It is also true that while individuals vary in their ability to perform repetitive behavior without boredom, those who are more intelligent generally have less tolerance for the commonplace.
