"Doodling may look messy, but it could in fact be a sign of an alert mind, a study suggests.
Plymouth University researchers carried out memory tests on 40 volunteers, asking them to listen to a phone call and recall names and places.
Doodlers performed 29% better than non-doodlers, the team found.
Experts said doodling stopped people from daydreaming, which was a more taxing diversion, and so was good at helping people focus on mundane tasks."More on the story on BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7912671.stm

If that is true you need to doodle way more 'cause your memory generally sucks. ;)
ReplyDeleteWho remembered what model of Giant it was?! Huh?! Huh?!? ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm just bad at remembering names, however I remember faces and lot of other trivial stuff!
Compared to how bad my memory was when it at it worst it's like a library right now, luckily I realized it before I became a zombie! Long story, glad I managed to get away relatively intact...
