Dr. Anne Keogh

We're all too busy all of the time.

Is this related as well to walking into a room for something and by the time you get into the room you've forgotten what the thing is you're looking for?

Mm hmm.

Because we often feel that we are losing it, you know, or there is something seriously wrong if we have forgotten within seconds what the thing was that we were looking for.

There are some studies that suggest that women on average perform better in cluttered environments when they're looking for items.

Men perform better in tasks involving spatial visualisation or mental rotation.

Do you agree with that?

I have a child in my house who is brilliant at finding things.

So I find myself not worrying about losing things or not being able to find the keys because I have somebody on hand who knows where everybody's stuff is all of the time.

And I highly recommend it, Anne.

Yeah, and we need them all.

And thanks very much for being with us.

That's Dr. Anne Keogh.
