tracted, stressed, or otherwise mentally burdened. In those circum stances a cognitive control system that ordinarily monitors errors we might make (like don't mention that topic) can inadvertently act as a mental prime, increasing the likelihood of that very mistake (like mentioning that topic).
When Wegner has had experimental volunteers try not to think of a particular word, when they then are pressured to respond quickly to a word association task, ironically they often offer up that same forbidden word.
Overloading attention shrinks mental control. It's in the mo ments we feel most stressed that we forget the names of people we know well, not to mention their birthdays, our anniversaries, and other socially crucial data.
Another example: obesity. Researchers find that the prevalence of obesity in the United States over the last thirty years tracks the explosion of computers and tech gadgets in people's lives-and suspect this is no accidental correlation. Life immersed in digital distractions creates a near-constant cognitive overload. And that overload wears out self-control.
Forget that resolve to diet. Lost in the digital world we mind lessly reach for the Pringles.
