Letra de Psychological Factors Which Affect Our Concentration

Our ability to concentrate effectively
is influenced strongly by our thinking habits
and by our emotions.
For example, when students are tired or over-anxious during an examination, they sometimes experience an unpleasant blank in which they know that they know something but cannot retrieve it at that moment.
This is a very frustrating experience.
Psychologically, by thinking too far ahead,
these anxious students have lost their focus and begun to panic.
The solution to this problem is to help such students to switch their concentration being back to the present, by writing down anything relevant which comes to mind.
By saying to themselves, "with every word I write, my flow is getting stronger," these students can release the knowledge which is blocked up by anxiety.
Exam blanks show us that anxiety makes us think too far ahead.
But, being nervous also affects our concentration being in another way.

For example, have you ever watched your fingers as you play a musical piece on a piano?
