「釋義」

在生物對某一刺激發(fā)生反應(yīng)后，在一定時間內(nèi)，即使再給予刺激，也不發(fā)生反應(yīng)。一般稱此期間為不應(yīng)期。

「應(yīng)用場景」

心理狀態(tài)也會影響專注力。一般來說，負面的情緒會降低專注力。加州大學(xué)舊金山校區(qū)的保羅·艾克曼針對情緒有開創(chuàng)性的研究。他指出，負面情緒會造成一段“不應(yīng)期”，讓注意力只局限在你情緒的對象上。換句話說，處于生氣狀態(tài)時，你就只會注意那個讓你生氣的事物。想要某種事物的情緒也是如此。積極情緒的效應(yīng)則正好相反，能提升、展開專注力，讓你看到事物的全貌。

Our mental states also impact on our focus. Negative emotions generally decrease it. Paul Ekman, a groundbreaking researcher in emotions from the University of California, San Francisco, described how difficult emotions create a refractory period that narrows your focus on the object of your emotion. In other words, if you get angry, it is hard to focus on anything else than what made you angry. The same goes for desires. Positive emotions generally have the opposite effect, enhancing and opening your focus to see the bigger picture.
