A lot of teachers hate doodlers(乱写乱画的人)during classes. “Pay attention!”Teachers will often warn doodling students，sure that they must be daydreaming.

    However, according to a recent study, doodling while listening to a boring lecture helps  concentrate the attention：   

    Andrade，a psychology professor in England asked participants to listen to a boring lecture.  Half the participants were told to color in squares and circles freely on a piece of paper while listening to the lecture. The other half weren’t given a task. After it was over, the participants were asked to retell the lecture.     

    Those given the doodling task(color in squares and circles)remembered 29 percent more information than the non-doodlers. Andrade said.    

    “If someone is doing a boring task，like listening to a dull conversation，they may start daydream，”said Professor Andrade.

    “Daydreaming distracts(使分心)them from the task，resulting in poorer performance. A  simple task，like doodling，can stop them from daydreaming without affecting their performance at the task，”he said.     

    So the next time you’re doodling during a class，and you hear“pay attention”，you can tell  the teacher with confidence that you’ve been paying attention to every word.
