Summary Power of whining to distract people while doing simple task is greater than any other noise.
A new study revealed that the power of whining to distract people while doing simple tasks is greater than other noises people normally find annoying.The study found that people made more mistakes per math problems completed when listening to the whines than any of the other speech patterns or noises. And people completed fewer subtraction problems when listening to the whining, crying and baby talk than when it was completely quiet. This explains why performing a simple task while children whine makes your head want to explode.Mothers have physical reaction to the noise, even if it’s just a minor argument over sharing a toy or who gets read a bedtime book first.
