LET’S UNPACK THAT: Whether it’s being torn between 10 tasks at work or ‘double screening’ at home in the evenings, it feels as though our attention spans are dwindling, writes Katie ...
Marine heatwaves are caused by a variety of drivers. These include shorter term weather events such as fronts, intraseasonal events (30 to 90 days) , annual, and decadal (10-year) modes like El Niño events, and human-caused climate change. [2] [3] [4] Marine heatwaves affect ecosystems in the oceans.
Americans are reading less — and smartphones and shorter attention spans may be to blame. 7 tips to help you make books a joyful habit. Rachel Grumman Bender December 21, 2024 at 4:00 AM
Although the Blob is gone for now, scientists predict that similar marine heat waves are becoming more common due to the Earth's warming climate. [19] Residual heat from the first blob in addition to warmer temperatures in 2019 lead to a second Blob scare. However, it was quelled by a series of storms that cooled the rising temperatures. [20]
The effects might show up as shorter attention spans and a tendency toward reward-seeking. Adult brains, by contrast, are fully formed and so have already entrenched neural pathways, so they may ...
Transient attention is a short-term response to a stimulus that temporarily attracts or distracts attention. Researchers disagree on the exact amount of the human transient attention span, whereas selective sustained attention, also known as focused attention, is the level of attention that produces consistent results on a task over time ...
Underwater heat waves occur when water temperatures in parts of the ocean are well above historical averages. Alone, these events are not uncommon, but the nature of multiple, widespread events ...
Part of the mortality during a heat wave may be due to short-term forward mortality displacement. In some heat waves there is a decrease in overall mortality in the weeks after a heat wave. These compensatory reductions in mortality suggest that heat affects people who would have died anyway, and brings their deaths forward. [63]
