[交流] 【Discussion】Whistling is better or not in your work place?

Whistling while you work may not win you many friends - but it could help you do your job better. A leading psychologist claims whistling or singing helps distract the mind from trying too hard and prevents mental overload.

Far from being down to 'just nerves', choking occurs when the brain finds itself with too many pieces of information to process, resulting in 'paralysis by analysis', argues Dr Sian Beilock of the University of Chicago. The same holds true when presenting a vital sales pitch, making an important putt or doing an audition. Dr Beilock, who used brain scans to study what is going on the mind during high pressure situations in the lab, said: 'Choking is sub-optimal performance, not just poor performance.

Even singing helps stop parts of the brain that might interfere with performance from taking over, she said. She has dubbed the phenomenon paralysis by analysis - when people try to control every aspect of what they are doing in a bid to ensure success. The researchers found that the brain can also sabotage performance because too much pressure is put on 'working memory' - part of the prefrontal cortex which focuses explicitly on the task in hand. Although the most talented people usually have the most working memory, anxieties and worries overload it, meaning the brain is no longer able to perform
