Scientists suggest the ability to find where one left their car keys or put down their wallet may be significantly increased by saying the objects name out loud, the Daily Telegraph reported.

In some instances the technique of talking out loud helped a visual search to such an extent that seemingly invisible objects suddenly became visible.

The research was published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology.

Researchers claimed that speech could alter ongoing cognitive processing in nontrivial ways -- effectively allowing us to concentrate better.

呼唤有助找寻物品

       据英国《每日电讯报》报道,科学家称,忘记车钥匙或钱包放在哪里不要紧,大声喊出要找的东西,它极有可能立马现身。

       有时候,眼睛四处搜寻貌似消失的物品,用力呼唤能让它们突然出现在眼前。

       这项研究已发表在《实验心理学》期刊上。

       研究人员表示,说话对正在进行的认知过程影响很大,能使注意力有效集中。
