Abstract in brief
Chewing gum helps reduce the decline in performance and alertness during a 30-minute vigilance task that requires updating short-term memory, especially in the later stages.
Participants who chewed gum showed shorter reaction times and less decline in detecting targets and maintaining alertness compared to those who did not chew gum.
The study supports previous research suggesting that chewing gum can enhance attention and performance in demanding tasks, contradicting claims that it negatively affects short-term memory performance.]
In summary, chewing gum improved attention, reaction speed, and alertness during mentally fatiguing tasks. While more research is needed, it is an easy way to help give yourself a small boost in attention when you need it. /9
