Scientists also note that although mental tasks can change our brains, the impact is usually modest. For example, practice with action video games improves some aspects of vision, but it’s a small boost, not an overhaul of how we see. Attention is so central to our ability to think that a significant deterioration would require a retrofitting of other cognitive functions. Mental reorganization at that scale happens over evolutionary time, not because you got a smartphone.
科学家还指出,虽然心智任务可以改变我们的大脑,但其影响通常不大。例如,对于我们如何看东西,动作类电子游戏改善了其中的某些方面,但幅度很小,并不显著。注意力是我们思考能力的核心,以至于只有加上其他认知功能的变化才会导致它出现显著恶化。这种程度的心智重组属于进化范畴,不是弄到一部智能手机就会发生的。
But if our attention span is not shrinking, why do we feel it is? Why, in a 2017 Pew survey, did nearly 90 percent of teachers claim that students can’t pay attention the way they could a few years ago? It may be that digital devices have not left us unable to pay attention, but have made us unwilling to do so.
但是,如果我们的注意力持续度没有缩减,为什么我们会有这种感觉呢?为什么皮尤(Pew)2017年的一项调查显示,将近90%的教师说学生们不像几年前那样注意力集中了?这可能是因为数码设备虽然没有让我们削弱集中注意力的能力,但却让我们失去了这样做的意愿。
