Unveiling The Journal of Psience: Volume 1 – Issue 7
Dive into the mind-bending world of human cognition with 'The Journal of Psience by Michael Weber, Vol 1 – Issue 7.' This digital download offers a fascinating exploration into the subtle, often surprising, mechanisms that govern our thoughts, memory, and perception. Michael Weber, known for his unique insights, curates content that challenges conventional wisdom and invites you to look closer at the 'psience' behind everyday phenomena.
The Chewing Gum Paradox: A Case Study
This particular issue delves into the intriguing claim that 'chewing gum makes you smarter.' Referencing a 1998 St. Lawrence University study, 'Cognitive advantages of chewing gum: Now you see them, now you don't,' the journal examines how the mechanical action of chewing can produce a short-term, statistically significant increase in cognitive agility. Tests involving memory, pattern recognition, and rapid calculation all showed improvements for subjects who chewed gum prior to testing. However, the benefits appear transient, with performance returning to normal levels within 15 to 20 minutes.
Beyond the Initial Findings: A Deeper Look
The Journal of Psience doesn't stop at initial findings. It presents a comprehensive overview, acknowledging other significant studies that explore the complex relationship between gum chewing and performance. From 'Effects of chewing gum and time-on-task on alertness and attention' to 'Gummed-up memory: Chewing gum impairs short-term recall,' this issue provides a balanced, nuanced perspective. It highlights the often contradictory nature of scientific research, encouraging readers to critically evaluate findings and understand the limitations of such studies.
Expand Your Understanding of the Mind
As a reader of 'The Journal of Psience,' you'll gain access to a trove of knowledge that goes beyond mainstream discussions. Each issue is meticulously crafted to provoke thought and expand your understanding of the intricate workings of the human mind. Whether you're a mentalist, a student of psychology, or simply curious about the frontiers of cognitive science, this digital download offers a compelling read that promises to challenge your perceptions and enlighten your intellect.

Chewing gum makes you smarter” or so claims the 1998 research in the article found at the website www.chewsmarter.com.The St. Lawrence University study titled “Cognitive ad-vantages of chewing gum: Now you see them, now you don't” explains that the mechanical action of chewing produces a short-term increase in cognitive agility. Tests of memory, pattern recognition and rapid calcula-tion all showed statistically significant improvement for the subjects who chewed gum a few moments be-fore engaging in the testing activities. The benefits seem to have durational limits as subjects returned to their normal level of performance 15 to 20 minutes af-ter the initial gum chewing.
Other studies on gum chewing and performance in-clude “Effects of chewing gum and time-on-task on alertness and attention” “Effects of chewing gum on cognitive function, mood and physiology in stressed and non-stressed volunteers,” “Chewing gum benefits sustained attention in the absence of task degradation” in The Journal of Nutritional Neuroscience and “Gummed-up memory: Chewing gum impairs short-term recall” in The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology.
