掉在浴室地面上的隐形眼镜、掉落在砾石堆里的汽车钥匙,我们如何才能像大海捞针一样找到这些不易寻找的东西呢?美国加州大学伯克利分校的科学家已经发现,当我们正在忙着搜索目标时,大脑里的不同视觉和非视觉区域就会被调动起来,用来追踪一个人、动物或者是其他东西。也就是说,如果我们在一群人中寻找一个走失的小孩时,通常专注于其他目标物的大脑区域,或者是进行抽象思维的区域,都会转移注意力,开始加入到寻找小孩的工作中来。因此,大脑会迅速转变注意力,集中精力寻找走失的小孩,并占用大脑通常用来完成其他脑力任务所需的资源。加州大 Contact lenses dropped on the floor in the bathroom, car keys dropped in gravel piles How can we find these hard-to-find things like a haystack? Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have found that when we are busy searching for targets Different visual and non-visual areas of the brain are mobilized to track a person, animal, or something else. That is, if we look for a lost child among a group of people, we usually focus on the brain regions of other targets, or the areas of abstract thinking, and we divert attention and begin to work for children. As a result, the brain quickly changes its focus, concentrating on finding lost children and taking up the resources that the brain normally uses to accomplish other mental tasks. California
