Abstract :
We propose the dynamical model describing the effect of boredom in the human learning process. It is shown numerically that the instability may appear in the dynamics of the system corresponding to the simple case of the single agent performing repeated choice between two alternatives. The discovered patterns of the periodic preference oscillations confirm that the model under consideration could capture such interesting phenomenon of human behavior as the boredom effect.
