Now a growing stream of research suggests that strengthening this mental muscle, usually with exercises in so-called mindfulness, may help children and adults cope with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and its adult equivalent, attention deficit disorder.
这类日常决策测试的是一种名为认知控制的精神能力,这种能力能让你将注意力保持在重要的选择上,而忽略其他的冲动。计划不周、走神以及难以抑制冲动均表明认知控制能力存在问题。现在,越来越多的研究表明,通过所谓的正念冥想强化“心智肌肉”可以帮助儿童和成年人应对其注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD,见于儿童)和注意力缺陷障碍(ADD,见于成年人)。
