The blog post that was uploaded last time was about the inhibition and resistance to interference. Inhibition, for me, is the ability to prevent the distractions from the surroundings to be able to focus on the task that a person is doing. Failures to inhibit some responses can interfere with making other responses. This means that when a person is not capable of inhibiting or preventing the interruptions, he or she cannot be able to give full attention to the task. However, children’s ability to inhibit task-irrelevant responses increases with development. Older people are more able to focus on a certain task than children because as we grow old, our tasks and responsibilities are getting bigger and heavier so it is a must for us to increase our inhibition and resistance to interference.
As a 4th year BS Psychology student, I have
so many things to do because there are so many requirements to finish. Thesis,
transcription of data, constructing themes, presentations and graded
recitations, quizzes, and money. These are some of the stressors I am having as
of the moment. After reading this topic, I learned something. I learned that I
should break down my tasks into parts so that it won’t be so memory demanding. I
should manage my time more appropriately. I should not let my mind be bombarded
with these tasks because if I let it interrupt me, I will not finish my work
very well. Also, external supports are important because every people need to
feel that they are supported and loved to keep us motivated.
How ‘bout you? How do you manage your time? Can you share
your stories/ideas on the comment section.
As a student, I manage my time by making a list of to-do's also I put first those important things before anything else. Thankyou for this 😊
ReplyDeletedoes lost of focus due to sleeping late or having lesser hours of sleep have something to do with inhibition?
ReplyDeleteWell, as for me, I manage my time by also having "to-do list" then I finish first the easy tasks to do, then later the more difficult ones. and I add caffeine to my system to be more focused. It's actually a good topic to discuss here, thank you :)
ReplyDeleteI usually manage my time the day before I do the tasks, and as an aviation student, managing our time is very important. When I have a lot of things to do, I don't pressure myself. Even if I have so many tasks to finish, I can still manage to hangout with my friends, it is because if I will pressure myself, I won't finish any task.
