Attention training

Attention training

Parents pay silent attention when children play, which is conducive to the cultivation of concentration. Psychologists conducted experiments to find some parents and children as subjects and divided them into three groups. The first group of parents tried to express themselves in front of their children while they were playing, constantly interruptingThe second group of parents patiently observes their children and communicates with them only when they have the desire to actively communicateThe third group of parents does not pay attention to their children at all and has been concentrating on playing with their mobile phones. The results showed that the second group had the highest concentration, followed by the first group, and the third group was the worst.

Practical tips

1.Parents of preschool children should not keep disturbing their children when they are playing, and interrupt them at will, and their children's long-term play is the cultivation of concentration. 2.Don't give your child too many toys at the same time, only one at a time;The books on the shelves should be numbered, and you can only read one at a time, and after reading one book, you can read the next one. 3.When studying, parents should not keep serving fruits, pouring water and milk to their children, and do not sit next to them all the time to correct mistakes, otherwise it will affect the children's learning concentration.

Self-regulatory outsourcing

Self-regulatory outsourcingThe partner often meddles in the affairs of the other half, which will make him think that his partner will help in the process of achieving the goal, so that he can relax his requirements for himself and become less efficient. A study published in the journal Psychology shows that if you don't pay attention to how you support your partner, it can backfire. The researchers asked 77 participants to find out how their partners played a role in their partner's achievement of academic goals. It was found that subjects were more likely to delay and waste more time in achieving their academic goals if they thought their partner would help. This phenomenon of unconsciously relying on others to push oneself to achieve one's goals and relaxing one's own requirements is called self-discipline outsourcing, and it is more common between intimate people such as husbands and wives.

Practical tips1.In life, both spouses should first pay attention to minimizing "finger-pointing" to their spouse. 2.By helping in one area, the partner can be able to focus on more important directions rather than directly intervening. For example: the husband takes care of the children, and the wife goes to the gym;The wife helps with household chores and allows her husband to participate in important activities. 3.It is very important for partners to communicate in advance and clarify the division of labor.

Environmental effects

Environmental effects

Memories are better if they are in the same situation. This concept is closely related to the generalization of stimuli. Memory works best when the recall is exactly the same as when the learning is in exactly the same situation, and the physiological state is similar, a phenomenon known as the environmental effect. The environment here not only refers to the surrounding environment, such as the structure of the house, the amount of noise, etc., but also the physical state of a person is also a part of the environment in which he lives.

Practical tips1.Taking an exam in a certain classroom and studying in this classroom will do better than studying in the library. In addition, do not drastically change your lifestyle or eating habits before the exam, and everything is in the best state as usual.

2.It is best to find the examination room the day before the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination, and stay as long as possible to familiarize yourself with the environment;On the eve of speeches and performances, it is best to go to the on-site rehearsal and walk on stage at least one day in advance.

3.Exam results cannot be attributed solely to the environment, and should also be considered to have worked hard.

4.When you have a conflict with a family member or friend, it's easier to reconcile by asking them to a place where you once had fond memories.

Sensory synergy

Sensory synergyThe more senses you use when learning, the more solid your knowledge will be. The psychologist divided the participants into two groups and asked them to memorize the Bible, placing the first group in a room with only five Bibles and five chairsThe second group was arranged in a room with 5 Bibles, 5 chairs, and religious picture books, and there was also a religious ** in the room. It was found that the second group remembered more firmly and memorized more. This shows that when people collect information, the more senses they are involved, the more solid the knowledge they have, that is, the sensory synergy.

Practical tips1.When learning knowledge, try to use as many senses as possible to deepen your memory. When learning, you can memorize 15% of the knowledge acquired by listening only;I can remember 25% with only visual vision;The combination of audio-visual and writing can remember more than 65%. 2.Each sensory channel focuses on the same thing to achieve the effect. For example: listen to the teacher's lectures, read PPT and take notes at the same time;Memorizing English words is a combination of audio-visual and speaking. 3.This can be used to teach children new knowledge. For example, when learning "Painting Star Fruit", show children what real star fruit looks like.
