How important does your brain need a break? Often we take a moment to rest his brain before completing the overall task. Hmm, according to researchers at Stanford University, the time lag is only needed by someone who feels his brain needs to rest. Because according to several experiments, the researchers concluded that people who believe willpower is able to provide unlimited power was successfully completed these tasks better than someone who feels his brain needs a rest.
The study involving 60 college students as subjects of this survey did not explicitly inform subjects about the main experiment. First of all, the psychologist will ask whether the subjects believe in 'people who push yourself as much as possible to complete the task' or 'those who need a break on the pretext of recharge at work'. After that, the subject will be given the questions that the brain drain in a row. Once the data is finished processing, the researchers concluded that students who believe humans are capable of thinking without pause successfully completed a series of questions a lot better.
Researchers then wanted to verify whether human perceptions about the will of power can be manipulated. Shortly after the first study ended, researchers recruit new students and give them the survey contains questions that will lead them to believe half of it: work under mental pressure will make a person tired, so it takes a break before starting work on a new task.
Meanwhile, half of the subjects led to believe that the work under mental stress makes a person feel more energized through the challenges of the next task. The power given suggestions turned out to affect strongly: in a variety of issues, they are thought able to achieve success under pressure once again outperformed those who need time to rest.
Then carried out laboratory experiments to prove the truth of research results for the third time. One hundred students are involved in the survey conducted in the school final exam week. Students are asked to monitor their own daily activities. Although busy, the students are confident in their self-will of power can reduce the habit of snacking, watching TV, and napping significantly than students who choose to rest my brain when I feel tired.
The study mentions that the human brain was fine though worn to work hard in a row over a certain period, provided we believe our brains are able to do so.
"It is important that people understand that their understanding of the will of power - whether it is finite or infinite - it can affect them in making decisions," said Stanford University researcher. Well, Ladies, next time when you feel too tired to complete the task, remember that your desire to procrastinate no connection with the performance of the brain. But you yourself who decides to 'give up' moment.
