Japanese Scientists say Cute Pictures Increase Concentration
Quote:
BuzzFeed Cute. Emergency puppy. The Internet can be a dark and twisted place, but it also overflows with pictures of baby animals that elicit squees and d'awws out of the cheerful and grouchy alike. Turns out there's actually a good excuse for looking at cute pictures, too: they could improve focus.
Possibly the cutest-named scientific study of all time, "The Power of Kawaii," found that participants who performed a motor dexterity test before and after looking at pictures of baby animals were more accurate after the fact. The study also analyzed grades of cuteness--while the testees performed up to 40 percent better after viewing puppies and kittens, looking at pictures of grown dogs and cats only increased their performance by about 12 percent. And the test itself was cute, too; the dexterity test was actually the Japanese equivalent of Operation.
