Chewing gum helps concentration?

I am not sure of this , by the way logically speaking i thin it works against your concentration.U need t keep chewing and at the same time carry out other task , will not help you to put your entire attention to the work at hand...I dont think it can be true

Yes i do think its true.. I always chew gums when im studying and when im writting my exams... It does elp me concentrate...

i think this is true... chewing gum keeps you alert.. and if you are alery your able to concentrate better...I used to chew it all the time when I was in school..

Yes, it does. We learnt about it in my educational class, if you want to know the source of the study I can go through my binders to find the study. The students were able to concentrate more in class if they were chewing gum. Just let me know because I always look at discussions that I respond to, thank you. Pablo

I don't think chewing gum helps concentration rather it makes concentration difficult. The only thing i've observed is that it keeps me awake.

If you watch the football on a sturday night most of the football managers seem to chew gum. Some of them seem to have the attention span of a dormouse. It can only help. I heard somewhere that mint actually extends the concentration, so it may not be the gum it might be whats in it!

hmmm... i dont think so...

I think it could if you do it without thinking about it. I chewed gum in the past when I had to concentrate on things and it did help. But over the years it will cause TMJ, the hinge in the jaw will get irritated and inflamed. So, now I do not chew gum very often for anything.

Some people, including me, thinks a step better when we have gum in our mouths. I don't know how but for some reason, our creative and analytical minds function better with it. =)
