The higher a person's concentration, the higher his proficiency in things, and the farther away from success. But for children, with the growth of age, attention will gradually be dispersed, and they will often be distracted in their studies. In fact, attention can also be improved.

Tong Zhenmei reminded us that using the "stroop" effect can help children improve their attention, and parents can also use this effect, but before that, we need to know what the "stroop" effect is.

1. What is the stroop effect?

It first comes from the experiments of thought psychologists. In this experiment, people of different colors appear separately. For example, use four colors of "black, purple, orange and white" to paint red, yellow, blue and green, and then ask the experimenter to answer the color of the font. At this time, the experimenter's response will be slow, and even the answer will be wrong.

The principle is that different reactions affect the brain's attention. We react faster to words and pay more attention. At this time, we will be very sensitive to words, but our response to color will be slower than that of words. This is actually called a non-dominant response, and then our attention will naturally decline.

Therefore, in learning, children's response to learning is actually non-explicit, and the explicit response to external interference and things unrelated to learning is children's explicit response. So many children will have inattention, and of course there are other influencing factors.

Second, the factors that affect children's attention

1, physiological factors

In fact, the physiological effect is very small. Everyone's children's development at different ages is actually similar, but the difference in myelination will affect children's concentration on things, but the difference here is very small.

2, the degree of interest in things

Children will focus more on what they are interested in, and less on tasks that they are not interested in or even forced to complete by others. Therefore, if we set children's dominant response in an incorrect way, it will interfere with children's attention to things.

3. Parents' company

Have you ever thought about it? In fact, the company of parents will also affect children's concentration on things. Many parents like to accompany or even help their children when they do their homework. It is in this process that their attention has been affected. Finally, the child's dominant response will become a non-dominant response.

Therefore, parents should learn to change their cognition of attention and their behavior to help their children improve their attention.

Third, how can parents improve their children's attention?

1, creating a favorable environment

In order to improve children's attention, it is necessary to reduce non-dominant reactions. Simply put, it is to make children react more strongly to the benefits of learning.

So don't disturb the children, create a quiet space for them, and don't be disturbed by others. The output of superior environment will improve children's response to attention and improve their own attention.

Step 2 focus together

Parents are children's first teachers, and the contents of children's wordless books are filled by teachers' "words and deeds", so what parents do can directly affect children's behavior.

We must be more focused in front of children, even with them. On the one hand, our behavior will affect children and give them the power to set an example. On the other hand, the environment we create when we concentrate will affect children's attention, thus improving children's concentration.

If possible, try to concentrate with your children and create a better environment.

Step 3 simplify the task

The attention of adults and children is completely different. Adults have a low degree of distraction, and every direction of distraction is fixed and regular, but for children, attention is very scattered and every direction is irregular.

Therefore, we need to simplify the task. When children face a complicated task, they often don't know how to solve it, so their attention will be extremely dispersed. We can see simple things such as games and cartoons, and children will pay more attention to them.

When we choose to simplify tasks, help children simplify things and clarify goals and tasks, and children's attention will be improved.

In the process of educating children's concentration, make good use of the "stroop" effect to help children gain more concentration.

Tongzhenmei warm reminder

Parents should make good use of the "stroop" effect, focus on improving their children's attention, help them make good progress and let them win at the starting line.
