Sometimes a reduced ability to3 ones attention can have positive implications for select cognitive tasks, they write. The findings raise the question of whether drugs that4 attention and focus, in p

11、articular, stimulants(兴奋剂), would have the opposite effect on creative thinking.5 , very little research has been done on the issue, and what results exist so far have been mixed. The outcomes may well vary according to individual6 to the drugs.7 some research has found that while stimulants can8 te

12、st performance for those who are less intelligent, for the smartest folks, the drugs can have the opposite effect. If less executive function is linked to more creativity, this may also explain why artists, writers and musicians appear to be more9 to have an addiction. Perhaps creative people are mo

And then, if reduced executive function is 11 in part for their initial talent, this, too, could make them more easily influenced by 12 once they start using.

27、anuts into the bottle again 5 he had done before and showed the monkey that it only needed to turn the bottle upside down for the peanuts to drop out. 6 the monkey always ignored his 7 . Each time it just shook the bottle frantically(疯狂地), with great 8 but without necessarily achieving the 9 result.

28、 Now the question is why the monkey was unable to understand 10 the scientist instructs. 11 because all its attentions was focused on the peanuts. Instead, it must take its eyes off the peanuts and quickly 12 its attention to the 13 movement of the scientist and the way the bottle was turned upside

29、down. To achieve this, it had to calm down and not be 14 by the impulse(冲动) of its appetite. Yet the monkey was not able to understand this.

While musicians had 5 verbal (言语的) capa

33、bilities to non-musicians, their ability to memorize new words was better. Perhaps most importantly, the musicians IQ 6 were higher overall than those who spent their lives listening to music 7 performing it. The experience of musicians also played a role in how 8 their minds were. The younger the m

34、usicians began to play their instruments, the better their minds performed at the mental tasks. 9 , the total number of years musicians played instruments throughout their life corresponded with (符合) how strong their brains 10 years later. The study of 70 older participants, with different musical e
