Each person must have been daydreaming and fantasizing about the future or something that is beautiful. Recent studies have shown that people whose minds often drift turns out to have a sharper brain. Why is that?
Recent studies have shown that people who often daydreams actually have more working memory in the brain, which gives him the ability to be able to do two things at the same time.
"Those who have a memory capacity of the brain's higher reported more frequent thoughts drift (daydreaming) when performing simple tasks, although their performance is not compromised," said Daniel Levinson, a psychologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as reported by Dailymail.
In a study whose results have been published in Psychological Science, the researchers asked participants to press a button when responding to words that appear on a computer screen. Researchers then will check periodically to see whether participants thought had drifted dreamily alias.
At the end of the study, researchers measured the participants' working memory capacity and also provide the score for the ability to remember a series of letters interspersed with math questions are easy.
The result, participants are more distracted his brain instead of a higher memory capacity.
Estimated is related to mental workspace that is used. For example, when people can add up two numbers spoken without the need to write it, but simply by imagining it. This capacity has been associated with a general measure of intelligence, such as reading comprehension and IQ scores.
Recent studies have highlighted how working memory is important in allowing the brain to focus on the most pressing issues.
