I think that such a force will know everything, but not all of it is. More precisely, there is something it is all but certain in its infancy. In many of our misfortunes, we blame it her, or rather, the almost complete lack thereof. It is impossible to follow a diet, quit smoking as early as the 10 th time, I will run every day and still miss trainings - to blame our infirmity. But here we come to help researchers with new research. At this time the link has been established between the memory training and the development of willpower. So do not be lazy, download their invisible muscles!
introduction
In the language of psychologists able to control their undesirable behaviors are called "executive controlĀ» (executive control). That is for you and it is the willpower. This group also includes attention, planning, memory, etc. When our desire to win is still to blame for this is the executive control.
Working memory is located in the prefrontal cortex of the brain, and is closely associated with executive control. People with poor working (RAM) memory there are problems with executive functions. When working memory training such people there is improvement in executive control.
Experiment
Therefore, the Dutch scientists decided to conduct tests that would show the dependence of memory training to get rid of bad habits. They were recruited from the group of people who abuse alcohol (more than 30 drinks per week). These people were divided into two groups. One group within a month the exercises for memory training with remembering the letters on the screen, and then repeat the same characters in reverse order. Gradually, the task becomes more complicated. The second group also train your memory with the help of special exercises. But they were much lighter and does not complicate the course of time.
As a result, people from the first group is not enough that showed good results in the development of working memory. They consumed amount of alcohol (from 30 to 10 batches per week) significantly decreased. People in the second group improved their memory, but little progress in reducing the amount of alcohol consumed have not been observed.
Output
Good news - willpower is tangible and measurable. This means that we can influence it and hopeless "patients" virtually none. And her training will not only help get rid of bad habits and start doing something useful, but also improve your memory. Which in turn will boost your productivity, perception and processing of information, and therefore will change your outlook on life. This is how to make vision correction visually impaired person.
