The Power of Concentration

  

 This quick activity will test your power of concentration.

Materials Needed:

  • A Chair 

Procedure:

  1. Sit down on the chair. Place your feet flat on the floor.

  2. Move one hand in a clockwise circular pattern. 

  3. Keep moving your hand and begin to trace your foot in a circular pattern on the floor.

  4. Continue moving your foot in the circular pattern, but begin to move your hand in an up and down motion.

Results

  • Could you do it? It is pretty easy to move your hand and foot in the same pattern, but it is much harder to do two different patterns at once. This is because your brain requires separate processing time for each of the patterns. It is possible to perform the two patterns at once but often it takes lots of practice.
