Studies have also shown that it is harder for people to concentrate when someone is looking at them. This form of eye contact interferes with our imagination and even our working memory. These study results suggest that it may be better to look away from the other person when you need to focus, such as when answering a question. The next time you lock eyes with someone, take note of how you feel and see if it' s more difficult to focus.

研究還表明當有人看著他們時,人們更難集中注意力。這種眼神交流會干擾我們的想像力,甚至影響我們的工作記憶。這些研究結果表明,當你需要集中注意力(例如在回答問題)時,最好將視線從對方身上移開。下次你與某人對視時,注意一下你的感受,看看是否更難集中注意力。
