A Person’s Ability To Learn

By Nick at 23 November, 2006, 4:00 pm

A person’s ability to learn is hampered when suffering from either the cold, flu, or other ailment. A person’s attention is diverted to alleviating those symptoms. If you have ever suffered from the cold or flu, you would have suffered from a runny nose, stuffy head, and body aches. If you have tried to read a book with your head stuffed up; it would be very difficult to concentrate.

Hunger is the same way. If you have ever skipped a meal, such as lunch, your attention processes will shift to finding food to satisfy the hunger.

Any normal person would not be able to learn in extreme heat or cold. The only people that would be able to learn in those conditions would be the Eskimos or Native American Indians. Since they have the experience in these conditions, they can focus on the task at hand. Adapting to those conditions has been automatic. For a normal person, the attention processes would shift to focus on getting warm or to cool down instead of on the given task at hand.
