Some people don't pay attention when doing things, are easily distracted, and often give up halfway; Class, meeting, love to look around; This phenomenon is very common among teenagers. Why are teenagers more likely to be distracted, unable to control themselves, and do things with "three minute heat"?
The ability of a person to focus attention is called attention control in the field of cognitive neuroscience, that is, the ability of individuals to choose what they pay attention to and what they ignore. Attention control, also known as goal driven endogenous attention or executive attention, is mainly responsible by the prefrontal cortex. Attention control is considered to be closely related to other components of executive function, such as working memory, conflict resolution and inhibition. In adolescence, because the development of prefrontal lobe is not fully mature, the attention control ability of adolescents is enhanced compared with that of children, but it is still weak compared with adults.
If you find yourself easily distracted and often give up halfway, try to limit the distractions and stimuli in the environment. For example: turn off the TV when doing your homework; Write down what you have done and often look through these records. When you make progress, you can "comfort" yourself, so as to increase the pleasant experience and continue what you have done.
