Do you sometimes find yourself drawing random patterns and designs during meetings and lectures? Some people believe it shows you aren't listening or paying attention. However, there are studies which claim the opposite, and that doodling might actually be beneficial.您有时会发现自己在会议和讲座中随意绘制图案和设计吗？有些人认为这表明你没有倾听或注意。然而，也有研究声称相反，涂鸦实际上可能是有益的。Doodling seems to be ubiquitous. In the past it was seen as a mindless activity and a product of the absentminded. However, in 2016, an article on the Harvard University website discussed the idea that random drawings may assist memory retention and concentration.涂鸦似乎无处不在。在过去，它被视为一种无意识的活动和心不在焉的产物。然而，在 2016 年，哈佛大学网站上的一篇文章讨论了随机绘图可能有助于记忆保持和集中的想法。The article highlights that 26 of 44 American presidents were known to doodle, with Ronald Reagan famous for drawing cowboys. A 2009 study conducted by psychologist Jackie Andrade asked 40 people to listen to a ‘dull and rambling' voice message. Half of the group were asked to doodle and shade in a picture. Those who did were able to recall 29% more of the information contained in the message.文章强调，44 位美国总统中有 26 位以涂鸦而闻名，其中罗纳德·里根 (Ronald Reagan) 以画牛仔而闻名。心理学家杰基安德拉德在 2009 年进行的一项研究要求 40 人收听“沉闷而漫无边际”的语音信息。一半的小组被要求在图片中涂鸦和阴影。那些这样做的人能够多回忆 29% 的信息中包含的信息。Some experts believe that embracing your creative and artistic sides during meetings may engage your mind. Jesse Prinz, a renowned professor of philosophy, actively encourages his students to doodle. He believes that doodling is the ‘attentional sweet spot'.一些专家认为，在会议期间拥抱您的创意和艺术方面可能会吸引您的注意力。著名哲学教授杰西·普林茨（Jesse Prinz）积极鼓励他的学生涂鸦。他认为涂鸦是“注意力的最佳点”。And it might not just be good for your concentration. An artist known as Mr Doodle has made a career out of his scribbles. He sells his art online and also goes to people's homes to decorate their walls.它可能不仅对你的注意力有好处。一位名叫涂鸦先生的艺术家以他的涂鸦为职业。他在网上出售他的艺术品，还去人们家装饰他们的墙壁。It seems that random drawing to aid concentration might be becoming more of a thing. People like Sunni Brown, an advocate for doodling, teach adults how to sketch and scribble in the workplace. So, the next time you see someone haphazardly drawing pictures during a meeting, it might be a sign that they are listening more than you think.似乎有助于集中注意力的随机绘画可能变得越来越重要。像提倡涂鸦的逊尼派布朗这样的人会教成年人如何在工作场所素描和涂鸦。所以，下次你看到有人在会议期间随意画画时，这可能表明他们比你想象的更听话。词汇表beneficial 有益的ubiquitous 普遍存在的mindless 盲目的absentminded 心不在焉的retention 保持，保留concentration 注意力highlight 强调conduct 进行rambling 杂乱无章的recall 回想起embrace 欣然接受engage 使……感兴趣renowned 有声望的sweet spot “甜点”，最佳状态scribble 乱涂乱画decorate 装饰a thing 一个潮流，一种时尚advocate 支持者sketch 素描，速写haphazardly 随意地

Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episodeFor centuries, parents have been locked in a nature vs. nurture debate, trying to uncover the forces behind our teens' development. Some parents believe nature has majority control over who teens become, and that things like personality, mental health issues and risk of addiction are passed down through the gene pool. Others think that these factors are mainly influenced by socialization, parental behavior and cultural influence–meaning the way we treat our kids shapes who they become. When teens are exhibiting behavior we're not exactly proud of, it can be tempting to blame biological factors. We let ourselves off the hook, claiming that there's nothing we could have done to stop their substance use or aggression anyway. But constantly attributing kids' behavior to nature can be inaccurate and even harmful! It stops us from critically examining the way we've influenced our teens, and even perpetuates certain sexist or racist agendas by declaring “natural” differences as the foundation for discrimination.To understand the nuances of this ongoing nature vs. nurture debate, we're talking to Jesse Prinz, author of Beyond Human Nature: How Culture and Experience can Shape the Human Mind. Jesse is a Distinguished Professor of philosophy and Director of the Committee for Interdisciplinary Science Studies at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He's been conducting research on the mind for over twenty years, and has authored multiple books and over a hundred articles on topics like consciousness and emotion.In our interview, Jesse and I are discussing how using nature as the default explanation for kids' development can lead to harmful discrimination. We're also discussing how affluence plays a role in who teens become, and debating whether parents or peers have a biggest influence on teen behavior.Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episode

In this episode I chat to Diana Fleischman. Diana is a senior lecturer in evolutionary psychology at the University of Portsmouth. Her research focuses on hormonal influences on behavior, human sexuality, disgust and, recently, the interface of evolutionary psychology and behaviorism. She is a utilitarian, a promoter of effective altruism, and a bivalvegan. We have a long and detailed chat about the evolved psychology of sex and how it may affect the social acceptance and use of sex robots. Along the way we talk about Mills and Boons novels, the connection between sexual stimulation and the brain, and other, no doubt controversial, topics.You can download the episode here or listen below.

Many philosophers deny the common sense view that we think with pictures. Are they right to do so? Jesse Prinz doesn't think so. In this episode of the Philosophy Bites podcast he explains to Nigel Warburton why we need to think again about thinking with pictures. This episode is part of the series Mind Bites, made in association with Nicholas Shea's AHRC-sponsored Meaning for the Brain and Meaning for the Person project. 

To what degree is reality something created by us? Jesse Prinz explores this fascinating question in conversation with Nigel Warburton. 

What part do emotions play in our appreciation of art? Jesse Prinz explores the sense of wonder at artworks in this episode of the Philosophy Bites podcast.

Professor Jesse Prinz (Philosophy, City University of New York) Professor Molly Crockett (Neuroscience, University of Oxford) Chaired by Dr Simone Schnall (Psychology, University of Cambridge) Abstract Empathy is widely and increasingly heralded as an essential ingredient of morality. It is said to be necessary for moral development, moral motivation, and even for comprehending the moral domain. But is empathy really important for morality? Prof Jesse Prinz and Prof Molly Crockett will address these claims and engage in a discussion and Q&A session. Prof Prinz argues that empathy is in fact not necessary for morality, and it may even be harmful. Because empathy can bias us towards our near and dear, and blind us to demands of justice, we should look beyond empathy in developing recommendations about how to instill moral competence and encourage moral commitment. For Prof Crockett, answering the question of whether empathy is necessary to morality has been difficult due to the limitations of methods for measuring morality in the lab. Most research on human morality has relied on hypothetical judgments but there is evidence that hypothetical judgments are poor predictors of real moral decisions. In her talk she will describe newly developed methods for quantifying morality in the lab and present the results of a series of behavioral experiments investigating how people disvalue the pain of strangers relative to their own pain. These studies provide empirical data bearing on the question of whether empathy is important and necessary for morality. Professor Jesse J. Prinz is a Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and director of the Committee for Interdisciplinary Science Studies at the City University of New York. He has published over 100 articles on several topics in moral psychology, philosophy, and consciousness. His books include The Conscious Brain, Beyond Human Nature, and many others. A leading advocate of empirical approaches to philosophical questions, Prof Prinz emphasizes the role of culture and emotion in shaping human morals. Professor Molly Crockett is an Associate Professor of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford. Her pioneering work on the neural basis of altruism and morality has been published in top journals including Science and PNAS, and has been covered by the New York Times, BBC, Scientific American, and others. Prof Crockett is intrigued by how individuals reconcile multiple conflicting motives in moral decision-making, and how neuroscience can help individuals make better decisions.
