Chewing gum is the best way to pass the examination
Do not worry if you have an important final examination! The best decision of this problem is chewing gum!
Scientists found out that chewing gum is very useful for students. Studies showed that those students who chewed a gum for a few minutes before examination passed it successfully.
The process of chewing increases short-term and long-term memory by up to 35 %. The gum chewers remembered 8-9 words at once after hearing the list, the non-chewers- only 6-7 words. As for a long-term memory, the gum chewers could remember 7 words after 25 minutes.
The scientists compared the answers of the students who chewed the gum before exam with those who did not. Their conclusion was that even least physical activity can cause a performance boost that gives to you the advantages, but only when chewed for five minutes before examination but not throughout the exam.
The effect of this performance boost lasted only the first 15-20 minutes. The possible reason of it a sharing of resources between cognitive and masticatory processes.
It means that it is impossible to chew gum and think simultaneously.
