This is seriously too long, if it's for concentration. I don't know what it's for, I stopped after the second thing...

Get friends or a gf/bf. Hug him/her everyday when you see him/her. Everything is more easy if you feel happy while doing it. I am not happy.

Very few people are capable of multitasking

Capable of effectively multitasking. Although many, such as myself are more productive when our brain is given something to concentrate 1/2

On such as music or something in the background so that our own thoughts don't distract us too badly. source: I can't single task at all 2/2

Multitasking is a myth. It is not possible for your brain to focus on more than one thing at a time.

multitasking is rappidly switching between tasks, not litterally doing 2 things at once,

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

No. "Human multitasking is the apparent performance by an individual of handling more than one task, or activity, at the same time".

I can't not multitask. Trying to do one single mental thing at once makes me lazy and distracted. Your uncited science isn't a guarantee.

You know what they meant, Mr Science Philosopher. Anyways, studies are consistent with, unless you have some sort of bias.

The braintraining one is nonsense. Simply playing fun games works well: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0360131514001869

To elaborate: Fun games = video games developed solely for fun*; as opposed to those developed for cognitive self-improvement

Well, these are incredibly old so it's all common knowledge. The problem isn't that there's no source, it's that this will encourage kids1/2

That's correlation not causation, hombre. Because science.

Also, what's the measure for "improve" or "increase"? A 1% subjective measure? Without a real measure it's all but meaningless.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Most of these, at least, have been verified rather extensively.

Then why are there no citations? OP could at least have linked to a metastudy.

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

Because this is not aimed at an academic audience, simple as that;

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 3

Any audience interested in the scientific backing of a statement is an academic audience. The title implies that science is important to OP.

I think you gravely overestimate the intellect of an average person. Source referencing and scientific methodology would only confuse.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

To be clear I'm not trying to say that they're all false, I'm trying to say that OP is a lazy shit.

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Citations would have been nice. I've read studies and books on most of these, but I too don't really feel like writing a Works Cited page.

10 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

But if OP didn't feel like writing a works cited, then they didn't feel like posting anything "backed by science."

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

I agree. If you're going to post claims like that, you should show your research.
