*clicks video* "..lol yes" *video ends*

[@meghaverma8274]

I get flashbacks and this is why I can't sleep early at night

[@dew3968]

Potter girl Nikola Tesla did too.. scishow has a video about it, saying perhaps it's because of a conflict btw your prefrontal waves and occipital ones.. I forgot the proper name they said but do a little search and ur gonna find it

[@meghaverma8274]

David William well...I am not just as great as him. XD

[@dew3968]

Potter girl lol but that's still pretty cool, though u can't sleep, u can remember "flashes" of things you've seen during the day.. or maybe u can just pretend to sleep in a test and have a flash of the answers ;D

[@illuminati5121]

damm vietnam flashbacks

[@meghaverma8274]

David William Omg! I never thought of this... thanks but there's a time limit

[@Coffee_paradox]

Multitask is not about not having 100% but we are keep switching from 1 task to another very quickly and have an illusion that we are doing multiple tasks at the same time. In fact we are just alt tabbing to another task. Switching between tasks have “mind blinks” where you lose a part of your memory about the task as you are rewriting your brain to deal with another tasks and the information is lost during the rewiring.

[@shucheng39]

This channel is a gem, i just discovered this channel and i already want to binge watch all of your videos! Thanks for uploading really oftenly :)

[@piercelequine9696]

Sc5675 yeah I agree it is a pretty great channel

[@Psych2go]

thank you guys so much! We're happy to have you here! ♥

[@kirannagpal5178]

Please make video on continuing friendships Bcz we can make friends easily but we cant continue that friendship

[@Psych2go]

So how to keep a friendship strong?

[@fdagpigj]

It amazes me how many people this isn't obvious to

[@Psych2go]

Psychology is never an obvious thing. Sometimes common sense is not so common :)

[@achi7440]

Idk why, but when I close my eyes, it's harder for me to remember things. I can only remember stuff with my eyes opened

[@Psych2go]

Everyone's different! :)

[@Unsworth-ye3ut]

I believe the model is called the working memory model, it states that when you multitask you can do tasks in the separate stores well but when you do two in the same you do them equally as well or equally as badly by dividing it between them.

[@Unsworth-ye3ut]

Keep up the good work by the way :) I love your videos so much and they help me learn a lot.

[@GetPsyched]

Very cool video! It makes sense when you think about it, the prevention of outsider stimuli and other distractions are eliminated when doing this. Thanks for this!

[@eizatfirdaus9590]

I think the model you were referring to on multitasking is The Working Memory Model by Baddeley and Hitch. I’m currently studying Foundation Humanities and recently studied upon this model.

[@Psych2go]

yeah haha! It's been a while :) How are you enjoying the course?

[@eizatfirdaus9590]

Psych2Go I really enjoy the course as it is interesting but I find it difficult to remember all the Psychologist’s name and theories. I also have trouble with the evaluation points and my exams are in 1 week. :( wish me luck

[@Psych2go]

Ah right, you can do it though! Good luck

[@ThatAnxiousArtist]

I think I read once that depending on what type of sense your trying to remeber you will either look left or right or something to that extent, so it'd be a way to tell if someone is trying to remeber something or trying to lie about something.

[@clipbytes321]

I had photographic memory whenver I close my eyes I can see it clearly that's why it was hard to forget...

[@Psych2go]

That's impressive! A photographic memory can come in handy for many things.

[@DesignRhythm]

Very interesting. Yes when I am learning difficult snare drum patterns, my eyes tend to close and are hard to keep open. It literally makes it easier to play with my eyes closed - kind of strange.

[@JonasAnandaKristiansson]

Once again, another thing that I thought almost EVERYONE knew about, or at least could see how or why it is this way. Feels very.. basic! But good to inform people, most aren't as aware of things in life as "they should", for the sake of absolutely everyone.

[@jasmineturnbull5189]

I love the introvert videos

[@Psych2go]

We will post more on that Lucy! :)

[@Psych2go]

Happy Sunday everyone! Did you know that closing your eyes can help you remember things better? When do you close your eyes? Old video, if you get sleep paralysis, don't open your eyes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJTViqB-Zq2DhZY

[@DivineTarotGuidance1010]

I love you guys Psych2Go

[@Psych2go]

Annanya Mishra ❤️

[@カバルナハンナミツチ]

Can you make more videos about friendship?

[@Psych2go]

Yes, we can. What sort of topics on friendships would you like?

[@カバルナハンナミツチ]

Psych2Go How to make friends

[@カバルナハンナミツチ]

Psych2Go how to make your friendship stronger

[@Psych2go]

They've been added to the list, stay tuned!

[@snowbloodapple]

Now it makes sense why people often close the radio if they're just reading a sign on the road

[@oguzasil5452]

I did go to my first grade friends when I was in highschool and at last grade. They have a lot q'es for me about me, school, boys and girls. They was 6 people and jokes everywhere. I had to talk everybody same time. It was fun though.

[@rochellerache3604]

Congrats on the 860K!

[@Psych2go]

Glammie Loria thank you!!

[@Psych2go]

Thanks for the support!

[@woodnote2658]

Any time I couldn't remember something, I'd shift my eyes up and move them from side to side. It worked most of the time!

[@brita1049]

Could you make a video about why we sleep with stuffed animals? Why it makes us feel safer?

[@kingcodester1112]

I'll remember to try this one day. Great video :)

[@Psych2go]

Thanks! Hope you continue to enjoy :)

[@tweevlebarr3528]

It makes it harder for me to remember things when I close my eyes because I associate what I might need to remember with the specific situation and then I can recite the entire scene

[@Psych2go]

Go with what works for you :)

[@jun-kz3bd]

What a perfect timing! Tomorrow is the first day of my mid term exam, so this is very helpful for me. Great video, as usual. uwu)b

[@Psych2go]

Undivided Realm thanks for watching! And good luck on the midterms! :)

[@piercelequine9696]

Can you please make a video on continuing relationships?

[@scenepunk09]

This also supports that if u don't get enough sleep at night u have a harder time remembering things.

[@heathrap8694]

True!!

[@leasagna2202]

After i have a dream and i dont remember it i always close my eyes and lay for a few minutes and then i can remember the dream again

[@syxoed]

I love you channel! :-)

[@Psych2go]

CandyScorn

[@apallow9814]

Yes

[@foxofsky5]

Amazing 👍

[@Psych2go]

Hope you enjoyed! :)

[@ingvildkvakestad]

I had never thought about that before wow. I am also doing badly I really need more Help but I cant find it

[@theuhhhhh9956]

But if you close your eyes it almost feels like nothing changed at all🎵

[@n.w.aicecube5713]

Do one about imagination.

[@Psych2go]

We're planning one on creativity :)

[@yue7760]

If I choose to remember some things/text/image on a book when I close my eyes, I usually remember on what part of the page I've read/seen it rather than the text itself lol y

[@sugarghast]

So when I take my GED tests, if I can't remember something, try closing my eyes.

[@Psych2go]

Good luck!

[@madamehearse9379]

This video is bias to blind people.

[@Psych2go]

Well, that is indeed correct.

[@kingcodester1112]

Syanne Siler lol

[@madamehearse9379]

KingCodester111 lmao

[@Ontariokelley]

😂😂😂😂 brah this shi gotta be scripted

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

" We close our eyes" Go West .

[@mmmurmurrr9937]

I dont get how i can play an instrement and read music without paying attention, any thoughts?

[@hot_knees782]

How do i think creatively?

[@Psych2go]

We can do a video on how to improve your creativity. Stay tune! :)

[@NarcissismSimplified]

Heard the same in grad school.

[@Realisationorderealisation]

My crush wanted this question answered so he started like 'look into my eyes' and. I. Died.

[@Psych2go]

lol

[@DarkFlameMaster-ly3tq]

How do i make someone not to talk to me?

[@petras6310]

Can you do a video on identity crisis

[@Psych2go]

Yes, thank you for your request. Stay tuned, and all the best!

[@zarurenslus2719]

Close your eyes and Doze off lol

[@Vienticus]

Multitasking, as people describe it, is impossible for humans because we only have one core processor.

[@belugajr2136]

Second and best channel ever

[@Psych2go]

Thanks for liking us! What made you stick?

[@belugajr2136]

Psych2Go I first came across your channel from how to tell if someone is suicidal then I subscribed and turned notifications on

[@ginger88895]

Maybe brains just record these distraction so that dreams get more vivid?

[@wimaken1615]

As i expected , to avoid distraction

[@Psych2go]

👍

[@kingpierce_]

i’m going to close my eyes every time i do a test

[@Psych2go]

Let us know how that goes! :) Don't blame us if you get an F though!

[@lucyt6611]

Is this why you end up remembering a bunch of stuff before bed

[@Psych2go]

Lucy t certainly! Studies have shown that it is best to study before bed because of this! Fewer distractions help us remember things better :)

[@lucyt6611]

Psych2Go oh neato!!

[@cerebrumexcrement]

I close my eyes to remember....and to forget.

[@Psych2go]

👍

[@beanhunter4647]

when I think about remembering a complex thing *I forget how to*

[@hasamat38]

Just remembered that i attempted suicide last year the same month and day as suicide awareness month, ironic.

[@Psych2go]

Thankfully you survived! We know it's hard but stay strong and keep up the good fight, we're glad you're here.

[@hasamat38]

Psych2Go Thanks, this is the first time being told that. I appreciate the warm message ^_^

[@Maykay1312]

yaaaaaayyy first yes i know how did i watch this video before anyone else

[@Psych2go]

:)

[@theodorul4085]

funny how yt tells me that this comment is a day old

[@BigFiggle]

How tho? Did you somehow get the link to the video before it was public?

[@speyederdreams1747]

Welp, better stop drawing and listening to KZbin video’s at the same time

[@everydaydoge40]

I closed my eyes while watching this

[@Psych2go]

Perfect. That's what we expect.

[@feliciasabatini1390]

Wow im quite early

[@rskat501]

This was disappointingly obvious :(
