Losing focus for a brief moment might actually help boost learning by giving our brains a quick reprieve from the task at hand.
This could lead to some unexpected benefits. Our brain might turn inward and start to wander through its own thoughts, it could exist in a blissful, 'mindless' state, or start looking for other tidbits of information to digest – which in turn might aid learning.
She had been following research that suggested people with higher impulsivity and lower cognitive control – such as young adults and children – were better at learning the relationships between seemingly unrelated pieces of information that they were told to ignore. People's attention wavered in and out of focus, as expected. The researchers observed this using a technique that detects fluctuations in attention based on personal reaction times.
