Study: People with extremist tendencies find it more difficult to solve complex mental tasks

Researchers from Cambridge University tried to assess whether there were co-nating provisions in the way information is perceived and processed that carves up ideological worlds such as political, nationalist and dogmatic beliefs, beyond the impact of traditional demographic factors, such as age, race and gender.

The study, built in a previous study, included 330 U.S. participants between the ages of 22 and 63 who underwent a series of tests ▪ 37 neuropsychological tasks and 22 personality studies é over the two weeks, reports The Guardian.

Duties were engineers in that form to be neutral, not emotional or political, which included, for example, memorizing visual forms. Researchers had then used calculators to get information from those data about the perception and learning of participants, and about their ability to process complex and strategic mental tasks.

They found that ideological approaches reflected co-operation decision-making.

One very important finding was that people with extremist approaches tend to think about the world in white-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-a terms, and were embarrassed at complex tasks that required complicated mental steps, said chief author Dr. Leor Zmigrad from Cambridge Psych ward.

Another trait of people with extremist tendencies was that they were not good at fixing their emotions, which meant they were more impulsive. /Periscope
