Addicted to Distraction.
4
David Strayer never texts or talks on a phone when he is driving.
5
Strayer is a cognitive psychologist at the University of Utah who specializes in attention.
6
His research shows that when driving, using a phone can be as dangerous as drinking alcohol.
7
Strayer and other scientists warn against multitasking
8
When we do many things at the same time Strayer says our brain becomes tired easily We make mistakes
9
and lose focus yet multitasking is increasingly common especially on a phone or computer
10
Dr. Gloria mark a digital media researcher has found
11
that people in the United States switch tasks on their computers
12
566 times a day this type of multitasking is especially common among teenagers on average a teenager spends between seven
13
and eleven hours a day in front of a screen doing
14
homework texting watching videos often all at the same time phones tablets
15
and laptops are all useful tools and we may feel more productive when we use them.
16
However, when we spend hours on digital devices, constantly switching between activities, our overall productivity decreases.
17
Why?
18
Many digital activities require high levels of concentration.
19
When we text or email someone, for example, or even play games, we have to focus.
20
When we do this, our brain uses energy.
21
When we multitask, which is hard for the brain to do, we use even more energy.
22
Excessive multitasking reduces our ability to think clearly and creatively, and to remember information.
23
This, in turn, can result in stress.
24
What is the best cure for our overstressed minds?
25
David Strayer says the answer is simple.
26
Spend some time in nature.
27
A natural remedy.
28
Strayer and other scientists are studying nature's effect on our brains and bodies.
29
When we are in natural environments, the prefrontal cortex, the brain's control center, relaxes.
30
Studies show that when people can see trees and grass, they are calmer and do better in school.
31
Indeed, people even relax when they look at photos of nature.
32
Consequently, they do better on different cognitive tasks.
33
Other psychologists are also studying nature therapy.
34
In a study at Chiba University in Japan, 84 subjects went for a 15 -minute walk in seven different forests.
35
The same number of people walked around different city centers.
36
Researchers then took blood from each person.
37
The forest walkers had a 16 % decrease in the stress hormone cortisol all.
38
In addition, they had a 2 % drop in blood pressure and a 4 % drop in heart rate.
39
All did better than the city walkers.
40
Lead researcher Yoshifumi Miyazaki has an explanation for these results.
41
Our bodies relax in pleasant natural surroundings, he says.
42
Humans evolved in that environment, not in places with tall buildings and lots of traffic.
43
Psychologist Stephen Kaplan and his colleagues have done similar research.
44
In one study, people took a 50 -minute walk in a public garden.
45
In a test conducted afterwards, their short -term memory improved.
46
When the same people walked on a city street, it did not.
47
Kaplan says it is the visual details in nature, sunsets, streams, butterflies, that reduce stress and mental fatigue.
48
We enjoy them without having to concentrate on them.
49
This allows our brains to rest and recover from the stresses of modern life.
50
Imagine a therapy that was readily available and could improve your cognitive functioning at zero cost, Kaplan says.
51
It exists.
52
It's called interacting with nature.

El escenario: La adicción a la distracción y su impacto en el cerebro

En el video, exploramos cómo la multitarea constante en dispositivos digitales agota nuestra capacidad de concentración, reduce la productividad y genera estrés. Expertos como el psicólogo David Strayer destacan que actividades como manejar mientras usamos el teléfono son tan peligrosas como beber alcohol, y que la solución está en la naturaleza: caminar por bosques o mirar fotos de paisajes reduce el cortisol y mejora la memoria. Este contexto real nos ayuda a practicar inglés con temas relevantes para la vida moderna, ideal para práctica de speaking para el IELTS y mejorar nuestra fluidez.

Trozos útiles y colocaciones para memorizar

  • Addicted to distraction: "Adicto a la distracción" (expresión clave para describir el comportamiento digital).
  • Multitasking reduces productivity: "La multitarea reduce la productividad" (colocación esencial para debates sobre eficiencia).
  • Natural remedy for stress: "Remedio natural contra el estrés" (frase útil para charlar sobre bienestar).
  • Short-term memory improved: "La memoria a corto plazo mejoró" (estructura práctica para reportar resultados).
  • Visual details in nature: "Detalles visuales de la naturaleza" (término para describir paisajes en speaking).

Tu reto de shadowing: Repite y emula la pronunciación

Para mejorar la pronunciación en inglés y practicar el "shadowspeak", sigue estos pasos: reproduce el audio del video en fragmentos de 10 segundos, deténlo y repite en voz alta, imitando la entonación y el ritmo. Enfócate en frases como "Our brains use energy when we multitask" o "Nature's effect on our bodies is proven". Usa un sitio de shadowing si necesitas herramientas, pero lo importante es la repetición constante. Este ejercicio no solo refuerza la fluidez, sino que también ayuda a internalizar vocabulario técnico. ¡Prueba ahora y nota la diferencia en tu shadow speech!

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
