美《新科学家》第85卷第1194期(1980年)报道:据俄亥俄州圣母大学的卡奇奥布(JohnCacioppe)说,人们在心率增加时可以更好地思考。他用可轻度调整的心脏起搏器植入志愿受试者证实了这点。卡奇奥布在受试者身上所用的起搏器预先定在每分钟72跳的基本心率上。他发现在起搏器上面放一块小的磁石能增高心率到每分钟88跳。这对于受试者无害,而且他们也不感觉到变化。因此他们对于实验条件是完全盲目的。首先,卡奇奥布用两种标准的思考测验,研究14名健康并头脑清醒的成人的心率对于作业的影响。在进行第一项测验时,让受试者阅读一段简单的文章(用大学水平的理解力测
The New Scientist, Volume 85, Issue 1194 (1980) reports that people think better when their heart rate increases, according to John Cacioppe of Notre Dame, Ohio. This is confirmed by the fact that he is implanted in volunteers with a lightly adjusted pacemaker. The pacemaker used by Cacioppo on the subject was pre-determined at a 72-hops basic heart rate. He found that placing a small magnet over the pacemaker increased the heart rate to 88 beats per minute. This is not harmful to the subject, and they do not feel the change either. So they are completely blind to experimental conditions. First, Cacchub used two standard tests of thinking to study the effects of home-use heart rate on 14 healthy and well-awake adults. During the first test, subjects were asked to read a simple essay (using university-level comprehension
