Fantasy proneness could be considered a tendency to imagine and daydream, whereas absorption is the tendency to allow your mind to become absorbed in an activity – to pay complete attention to the sensations ( ' , 感受) and the experiences.

Digital technology also makes it easier for people to co-ordinate their activities without resorting to hierarchy.

A recent study of people with HSAM reveals that they are liable to fantasy and full absorption in an activity.

It might mean monitoring employee productivity on a digital leaderboard and offering prizes to the winners, or giving employees digital badges or stars for completing certain activities.

A part-time job is a good way to balance costs while ensuring there is enough time left over?for both academic subjects and after-class activities.

What, then, are the effects of thinking about time in these different ways? Does one make us more productive? Better at the tasks at hand? Happier? In experiments conducted by Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier, they had participants organize different activities—from project planning, holiday shopping, to yoga—by time or to-do list to measure how they performed under clock time vs task time.

No one is asking you to give up activities you like, but if you're watching food shows on TV, try cooking instead.

Instead of trying to get children to work hard, why not focus on getting them to take pleasure in meaningful, productive activity, like making things, working with others, exploring ideas, and solving problems? These focuses are not so different from the things in which they delight.

After tough workout or a day full of physical activity, it's common to find your muscles aching, but where do these pains come from?

Fantasy proneness could be considered a tendency to imagine and daydream,whereas absorption is the tendency to allow your mind to become absorbed in an activity – to pay complete attention to the sensations and the experiences.

In a review of 14 studies that looked at physical activity and academic performance, investigators found that the more children moved, the better their grades were in school, particularly in the basic subjects of math, English and reading.

Instead of trying to get children to work hard, why not focus on getting them to take pleasure in meaningful, productive activity, like making things, working with others, exploring ideas, and solving problems?

Physical activity can improve blood flow to the brain, fueling memory, attention and creativity, which are essential to learning.

Physical activity does the body good, and there's growing evidence that it helps the brain too.

Seventy-four percent of the women said the activity lessened their fears and kept them from thinking about their problem.

The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains.

Though Chasin says the focus of the work is on the activity of writing, rather than the text that ends up getting written, some of the work that comes out of the sessions has stuck with her.

When muscles perform an activity they aren't regularly expose to, the tiny fibers that are inside them are being torn apart.

Will parents be damaging children if they have one fewer organized activity? No, I really doubt it.

They try to develop their skills through close supervision and organized activities, and teach children to question authority figures and navigate elite institutions.

Schools or teachers who sign up for the National Math Club receive a kit full of activities and resources, but there's no special teacher training and no competition attached.

Ms.Lareau doesn't believe participating in fewer after-class activities will negatively affect children's development.

In the Pew survey, middle-class families earning between $30,000 and $75,000 a year fell right between working-class and high-earning parents on issues like the quality of their neighborhood for raising children, participation in extracurricular activities and involvement in their children's education.

Extracurricular activities reflect the differences in child rearing in the Pew survey, which was of a nationally representative sample of 1,807 parents.

If our economies are to flourish, if global poverty is to be eliminated and if the well-being of the world's people enhanced—not just in this generation but in succeeding generations—we must make sure we take care of the natural environment and resources on which our economic activity depends.

Scholars warn that Antarctica's political drift could blur the distinction between military and civilian activities long before the continent's treaties come up for renegotiation, especially in parts of Antarctica that are ideal for intercepting ( ' , 攔截) signals from satellites or retasking satellite systems, potentially enhancing global electronic intelligence operations.

More than a century has passed since explorers raced to plant their flags at the bottom of the world, and for decades to come this continent is supposed to be protected as a scientific preserve, shielded from intrusions like military activities and mining.

And they neglected other healthy activities.

According to Chinese officials, their activities in Antarctica lay greater emphasis on scientific research.

They prioritize non-academic activities.

The boring classroom activities.

Nick Perks, project director for Climate Solidarity, believes this sort of activity is where the future of environmental action lies.

Laura Hamilton, the author of a study on parents who pay for college, will argue in a forthcoming book that college administrations arc overly concerned with the social and athletic activities of their students.

Design more interactive classroom activities.

But the priorities of many undergraduates are with extracurricular activities, playing sports, and partying and socializing.

You can imagine similar kinds of interactive activities along historical lines," like following the Freedom Trail in Boston, Professor Dede said.

More activities to fill in their leisure time.

Over the past two years, the figures on imports and exports seem not to signal a double-dip recession –?a renewed decline in the broad level of economic activity in the United States?–?but an economic expansion.

The most recent comparative data on the performance of universities and research institutions in Australia, Canada, USA and UK shows that, from a relatively weak starting position, the UK now leads on many indicators of commercialisation activity

It indicates that economic activities in the U.S. have increased.

They encounter boys all the time socially out of school, and through debating societies and things like that, some school activities as well.

If in these activities the physical features of the planet are damaged, if the environment is made inhospitable for a multitude of living species,then so be it

They make an active part in more extracurricular activities.

When you reach your top height, do light activities rather than sleep too much.

The interracial roommates spent less time together, and had fewer joint activities than the white pairs.

They started doing similar activities

A lot of the government advertising has been about individual responsibility, but actually understanding that drinking is very much about the social activity and finding ways to help young people get home safely and not end up in hospital is one of the th

After the first pair of tasks was completed, one group of participants was assigned an undemanding activity intended to cause their minds to wander.

At the crack of dawn, he would run up the slopes with his skis on, an unbelievably back-breaking activity.

Because of their smaller size, most keep hours that allow people to enjoy themselves, then have some quiet after midnight, as opposed to large major cities like New York, where the buzz of activity is ongoing.

But others opted to lie, and they showed increased activity in their frontal parietal (顱腔壁的) control network, which is involved in difficult or complex thinking.

But thinking about or remembering descriptions in terms of their social meaning activated the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex—part of the brain's social network—even as traditional memory regions registered low levels of activity.

For example, in the case of young people's drinking, one of the things that I've identified is that drinking for people, say, between the ages of 18 and 24, is all about the social activity.

Grazing herds stimulate microbial activity in the soil, helping to capture water and separate carbon.

He points to a classic 2004 study in which psychologists at Dartmouth College and Harvard University used functional MRI to track brain activity in 17 young men as they listened to descriptions of people while concentrating on either socially relevant cue

In a 2011 study, Steinberg and his colleagues turned to functional MRI to investigate how the presence of peers affects the activity in the adolescent brain.

nick Perks, project director for Climate Solidarity, believes this sort of activity is where the future of environmental action lies.

Researchers have already begun to use smartphones in social scientific research, either to query people regularly as they engage in their normal lives or to record activity using the device's built-in sensors.

Sadly, the data also showed face-to-face socializing and sports activity had declined over the period covered by the survey.

So, while there may be insights to be gained from matching behavior to brain activity, those insights will I not necessarily lead to justice in a court of law.

The brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two regions associated with rewards when they were being observed by same-age peers than when alone.

The researchers conclude that electronic communication was the only adolescent activity that increased at the same time psychological well-being declined.

They should also be sceptical of the growing tendency to try to reduce all human traits and actions to the level of brain activity.

When people uttered a falsehood, the scientists noticed a burst of activity in their amygdala.

You love the activity; it's great fun.

You understand the health?benefits that the activity can bring.
