RECOGNIZE SIGNS OF HEAT STROKE IN DOGS

What is heat stroke? Dogs suffer from heat stroke when their body temperatures exceed 104 F and the built-in mechanisms they rely on to cool themselves - including panting - cease to function properly. But any temperature 103 F or above is considered abnormal. According to PetMD, heat stroke is a form of non-fever hyperthermia that can lead to multiple organ dysfunction.

SUMMER FUN = FIREWORK FRIGHT

Summer parades and fireworks are part of the charm in villages like Avon, Caledonia, and Livonia but not all pets agree. Around the holidays, create a safe, quiet space at home, and keep pets indoors. More pets go missing during July fireworks than any other time of year.

Is crate training working for this hyper puppy?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My best friend adopted a puppy a few months ago. Training seems to be going well: “Freya” gets regular walks, and she heels pretty well and responds when called. However, my friend uses a kennel crate, and whenever Freya acts up (which is pretty normal for puppies, right?) she puts her into the crate. I don’t think crates should be used as punishment. What’s your advice?

-- Glen in Marietta, Georgia

DEAR GLEN: While you’re correct that a crate shouldn’t be used as punishment, crate training a puppy can get complicated sometimes. Those little guys are wriggly, fast and always a bit hyper. The line between “calm and relaxed” and “zooming around your ankles” is paper-thin.

Before giving your friend advice about how to crate her dog, ask a tactful question or two. Like, “How do you know when it’s time for Freya to go into her crate?” or, “Freya is so good at going into the crate on command. How did you accomplish that?” Owners are often willing to reply in detail about their training method, especially when it’s working well.

Signs that it’s not going well are when both owner and pet seem stressed near the crate; when the dog is deeply reluctant to enter the crate, or even fearful. If the owner is yelling or yanking the dog’s leash or collar, that’s not a good sign; there’s a bigger issue than the crate happening.

Ideally, both owner and dog should be relaxed, calm and happy around the crate. That’s a huge help in crate training, because Freya will associate the crate with those emotions (and treats). You could point your friend to the AKC’s page on crate training: www.akc.org/expert-advice/ training/how-to-crate-train-your-dog-in-9-easy-steps.

KEEPING IT LOCAL, TOGETHER.

Dear Readers,

Lately, it feels like the world is moving faster than ever — with constant talk about technology, artificial intelligence, and big changes coming our way. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by it all.

We want to give you a break from all the noise when you read the Penny Saver. We want to continue to curate a product that you feel good about reading, where you can learn about what’s happening with your neighbors and feel proud about living in our beautiful region. e Penny Saver has been many things to many people but the one constant for the publication has been a focus on “local”. To that end, we want to expand all that we share with you to make this the best and most useful publication. So what does this mean?

e bottom line is we want to create and share more local content. at might include stories about high school athletes, highlights of local trails and other natural gems to visit, homesteading tips, reviews of new books coming out from local authors, shared local poetry, new playground reviews, and even local generational recipe sharing! ese are just a taste of what we want to build. However, our focus will not be on hard news. Politics and police blotters have never been our specialty, and we want to leave that type of reporting to the folks in the news that do that best.

ere is a reality to these ambitions. Costs continue to rise, especially for postage and revenue is unpredictable due to an ever-changing advertising landscape. We’ve worked hard since the pandemic to lower our costs and provide the same great service to you, but adding content to better serve readers requires more resources.

Here’s what we’re asking. If every home that receives the Penny Saver gave $5 we would be able to fund all of this local content and more. Our goal is to keep the Penny Saver a free publication and available to as many readers in the community as possible. What we are seeking is an investment from you in the product you love to make it even better.

It’s said in our industry that the health of a local publication is a direct reflection of the community it serves. Our commitment to local goes beyond our content. Our paper is printed right in Avon, NY by employees, managers, and owners that live here in Western New York. We hope to remain strong for many years to come and even foster the next generation of readers who share the love of “local”.

We’ve included a form below and we so appreciate your attention and support of the Penny Saver’s future.

Thank you for your consideration and your readership. The Genesee Valley Penny Saver & Featured Media Management Team

CHILDHOOD OBESITY

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that childhood obesity rates have more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the last 30 years. This is happening in spite of indications that childhood obesity could reduce life expectancy by five years or more. Many children are not participating in free-time physical activity and, according to Blank Children’s Hospital, only 25 percent of children in the United States eat a healthy diet.

Considering children spend six or more hours at school and many eat school lunches or receive in school-provided breakfasts, schools can play a pivotal role in helping to control the rising epidemic of childhood obesity.

Understanding What Hyperbaric Oxygen Can Do for Hearing Loss

DEAR DR. ROACH: I was just diagnosed with sudden sensorineural hearing loss. They gave me a steroid injection into the ear and more steroids by mouth, but they say it’s up to me whether I want to try hyperbaric oxygen.

Do you have any opinion on it? How does breathing pure oxygen at 2 atmospheres help anything? Is there some underlying theory to explain why people do this? It seems to me all this accomplishes is that it raises my blood oxygen level from 97% to 100%. How can this help anything? --

Q. A.

ANSWER: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is an uncommon condition. It can often be misdiagnosed, and since some people get better on their own, it is sometimes never diagnosed at all.

I suspect there isn’t one single cause in all cases as several causes have been proposed, including infections (especially viral), medications and recreational drugs, brain tumors, autoimmune diseases, head trauma, and associations with other diseases. But most cases have no clear underlying cause.

In addition to a careful exam, hearing tests and an MRI of the brain are generally recommended. Early treatment with steroids (either by injection, orally, or both) has been shown to enhance recovery.

In people with more severe hearing loss, hyperbaric oxygen has been shown to improve outcomes compared to steroids alone. It is thought that the high amount of oxygen delivered via the hyperbaric chamber may be able to deliver oxygen to areas of the cochlea that were damaged, but the mechanism of action isn’t completely clear.

The benefit of hyperbaric oxygen isn’t that it gets your red blood cells more oxygenated. You can’t do better than 100%, and 97% is very close to 100%. With hyperbaric oxygen, the fluid of the blood itself carries much more oxygen, which is then dissolved in the plasma -not in the red blood cells. The oxygen in the fluid is 60 times higher with 3 atmospheres of oxygen compared to room air,which is enough to deliver oxygen to your tissues without red blood cells.

Carefully done, the risks of hyperbaric oxygen are small. The high pressure can cause pain and pressure in the ear and sinuses, which can be relieved by equalizing pressure through maneuvers that open the Eustachian tube (such as yawning or swallowing).

While I understand why physicians want to get your opinion on your treatment, it doesn’t sound like they gave you enough information to make an informed choice. In my opinion, they should have gone over the risks and benefits, then given you a clear recommendation.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

AVON’S ROLE IN ROAD TRAVEL

Avon was once known as “the crossroads of Western New York,” thanks to its early role as a hub for stagecoaches and then automobiles. In the early 20th century, Avon even hosted car races on its streets! Today, it’s a quiet town with a rich transportation legacy and a beautiful place to stop for a stretch or snack.

Updating Your Home’s Electrical System

When it comes time to update the electrical system, it is always best to work with licensed and bonded electricians who have the expertise to work with electrical wiring without getting injured. This is not a do-it-yourself type of job since it requires specialized training.

Electricians likely will recommend upgrading the electrical panel to bring more power from the utility poles into the home. This can include replacing the existing meter and circuit breaker box to allow it to handle more power or replacing items that are obsolete or dangerous.

Many older homes are only capable of handling a minimum number of amps, utilizing just a few circuits. But nowadays, when homeowners have far more electronics in their homes than they once did, increased demand on electricity can overload a circuit. Tripping a circuit breaker is a safety measure to prevent the wire from becoming overheated and causing a fire. However, in some old systems, the circuit breaker will not trip, and this can be problematic.

Rewiring a home is another step. Wire insulation can deteriorate over time, and new wires may be needed. This can be messy and time-consuming, but it’s a small price to pay for safety. When rewiring an electrician also may suggest new outlets. Many home building codes now require outlets with ground fault interruptors, or GFIs, in kitchens, bathrooms and other rooms exposed to moisture. Some older homes may not even have three-pronged outlets, so this will necessitate an update as well.

HOME IMPROVEMENT

Remodeling&RepairService

Delays

The DIY movement has inspired many homeowners to tackle home repair and remodeling projects on their own. DIY projects can be rewarding, and many homeowners who have embraced the DIY movement have discovered talents they never before knew they had.

But no matter how simple popular home renovation television shows make remodeling projects appear, homeowners should know that such undertakings are far more difficult than they appear on television. Homeowners who overestimate their abilities and the time they have to complete projects can cost themselves substantial amounts of money. In fact, there are a variety of reasons homeowners might want to work with professional contractors when tackling home improvement projects.

Invest in ceiling fans, which can move air through the home. This will help prevent pockets of hot air in certain spaces. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, even in homes with air conditioning, ceiling fans enable homeowners to raise the thermostats on their AC units by about 4 F with no reduction in comfort. Attic fans can draw heat out of a home through vents, also helping to reduce indoor air temperatures. These devices can reduce reliance on air conditioners, especially on moderate days or cool nights.

SENIOR NEWS LINE

Doing the right thing

How many of us are continuing to do things we feel we should, even if we don’t want to?

A neighbor bemoaned the fact that her husband had signed them up for yet another line dancing class at the senior center. “And I don’t want to go,” she said. “I’m tired of learning new dances. I’d like to just enjoy the ones I already know.”

Like many of the people at the senior center, my neighbor and her husband were generally signed up for one or more classes being offered. And to the staff’s credit, there is a wide variety of classes to choose from on a rotating basis. We have tech classes, language classes, seated yoga, drawing and painting, Cooking for One, writing your memoir ... and another line dance class. We’ve been through several and now there’s apparently one called Cowboy Hustle.

And my neighbor didn’t want to learn it.

Curiosity got the better of me, and one recent day at the senior center I asked the group waiting for a class what they keep doing just because it’s the right thing to do. There was a variety of replies:

-- Attempting to walk thousands of steps per day.

-- Walking the neighbor’s dog so she doesn’t have to give it up.

-- Counting calories.

-- Sewing clothes for the grandchildren.

-- Eating vegetables every day.

-- Taking the mother-in-law out to lunch every Friday.

I saw my “no more line dancing” neighbor again. Maybe he just wants to keep both of you active and healthy, I suggested. And maybe he enjoys doing things with you, I added. She smiled and nodded, acknowledging that her husband was actually a good guy. And I knew that she’d be there learning the Cowboy Hustle alongside her good guy husband.

How about you? What do you keep doing just because it’s the right thing to do?

Brighter

I’m a 94-year-old and I use a cane until I get a cart. I do a lot of shopping at the Family Dollar in Caledonia. The manager there is great, and so are the people. They hold the door, get a cart, or help put things in my car. You are all wonderful! Thanks.

Where’s e Beef?

Thank you, Farm Workers of America, documented and undocumented. Growing up on a farm I picked fields of stone and harvested vegetables. It’s hard work and the sun can be relentless. That work doesn’t even compare to the acres of vegetables I see as I drive to work in my air-conditioned car. How many of you have ever slaughtered and butchered an animal? It’s not a pleasant job but someone needs to do this work if you want to eat. We owe these people who provide for our sustenance our gratitude. They work grueling hours and many live in fear because they desire a better life for themselves and their families. If you think anyone can do this work think again or try it for a day, especially one of our 90-degree weather days. I guarantee that you will feel differently about these wonderful people and the price of beef may seem like a small price to pay. If you are inclined to say Grace for the food that you eat that should include a thank you as well as a request to protect those who do the bulk of the providing.

I do! Today I tried to cancel my trash and recycling service to sign on with another company who offers tote valet service. I am a senior and struggle to get the totes to the curb. It took an hour or more to “get help,” but I am still uncertain that anything was done. I tried various phone numbers only to be put on hold in eternity. I also tried to be savvy by doing it online, but to no avail. There was no option for cancelling service. I had much to do today but had to “productively” spend my time waiting. I even did a “live chat” but nothing was accomplished. If this is the ongoing future of customer service in the USA, nothing will get done and we will wither and die as a nation and we will have no need for the BBB because there will be no business! God help us all!

Killing Hawks

My Vent is about using poison baits to kill rodents. Recently a young hawk, that made its summer home in our neighborhood, was sickened and died after eating a poisoned rodent. Yes, rodents cause many problems for people and poison-based products offer what initially seems like a simple and inexpensive pest-control option. Unfortunately, they also have unintended consequences. In addition to this Vent, I also need to include a Brighter Side for my neighbors, and the DEC officer, and the Wildlife Rehabilitator who were all instrumental in trying to save this beautiful raptor.

4 REASONS TO TRAVEL MORE

In addition to eating healthier, exercising more and getting more sleep, many people resolve to travel more at the dawn of a new year

Travel is much more than leaving one’s home. It’s about setting habits aside, escaping comfort zones and trying something different - and doing so in a different location.

In its latest World Tourism Barometer, the United Nations World Tourism Organization found that 1.184 billion tourists traveled outside their countries’ borders for at least one night in 2015. Europe, Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas all recorded around a 5 percent increase in international arrivals that year. Europe was particularly popular, perhaps hedged by a weaker euro against the American dollar and other currencies. The U.S. Travel Association says that direct spending by resident and international travelers in America averaged $2.7 billion a day.

Millennials may be leading the travel-enamored pack. The United Nations estimates that 20 percent of all international tourists, or nearly 200 million travelers, are young people, and that the millennial demographic generates more than $180 billion in annual tourism revenue. The U.N. also reports that millennials are more interested than older generations in traveling abroad as much as possible.

Infrequent travelers or those who have never traveled may not understand why heading to parts unknown is so appealing to so many people. The following are just a handful of reasons why travel is so enticing.

1. Engage the mind. Staying mentally active over the course of a lifetime promotes long-term health. Navigating unfamiliar places or reading a foreign language while sitting in an international country can engage the brain and get synapses firing. The Mayo Clinic reports that higher cognitive activity endows the brain with a greater ability to fend off brain pathologies, such as disease and dementias.

2. Connect with new people. Travel opens a person up to not only new experiences, but also new people. English poet John Donne penned the famous line, “No man is an island,” which underscores the importance of having friends and making new acquaintances. Research conducted by the University of Michigan found the act of talking with people in a friendly way can improve a person’s memory, suppress external and internal distractions, and encourage people to see things from another person’s perspective. It doesn’t hurt to broaden one’s social network, either.

3. Build confidence. Leaving one’s comfort zone can be a great way to bolster one’s self-esteem. Navigating cultural boundaries and overcoming those boundaries may be initially intimidating, but doing so can make a person more confident and more adaptable to change.

4. Develop opinions. Until a person visits a place in person, he or she only has third-party information to form opinions. Visiting a city or country for the first time can offer a more complete perspective. Travel gives people the chance to rest, explore, meet new friends, and make lasting memories.

10 TIPS TO GET KIDS READING MORE

Ask your child to read a book to you. Play a board game together. Take your child to get their own library card. Read newspaper comic strips or comic books. Ask kids to write a short story and read it out loud. Read and prepare a recipe together. Make bedtime stories a nightly routine. Play word games like reading tongue twisters, doing crossword searches or unscrambling words.

Take a book with you wherever you go, so you can read together at any opportunity.

Keep a book on your child’s nightstand, so they are prompted to read if they wake up early.

10 BENEFITS OF READING FOR CHILDREN

• More extensive vocabulary

• Improved language skills

• Critical thinking skill development

• Increased creativity and imagination

• Empathy development

• Understanding of the surrounding world

• Improved concentration

• Parent-child bonding

• Cognitive development support

• Improved social skills and interaction

It’s never too early to begin reading to babies. In fact, reading to infants beginning at birth helps support their cognitive development and their bond with parents. It also increases the likelihood that parents will continue reading to children as they grow, improving language skills and concentration to prepare them for academic success.

Zero to Three, an organization focused on early childhood development, recommends these book-type guidelines for babies and toddlers:

Birth to 6 Months - chunky board books, soft fabric books and vinyl bath books

6 to 9 Months - board books with short, simple stories and colorful illustrations

9 to 18 Months - board books with simple stories, stories with rhymes and phrases that repeat, and stories with pictures of other babies and familiar objects like animals

18 to 24 Months - longer, slightly more complex stories; humorous stories; and stories featuring silly rhymes

24 to 26 Months - books with paper pages, nonfiction stories about things like animals or seasons, and books that discuss jobs

ANDDON’TFORGET… studies show that good reading habits in older adults can help improve memory, sharpen decisionmaking skills, reduce stress and protect against Alzheimer’s and dementia.

THE LIVING IS IN THE PRACTICE: Laurel Nelson and the Wisdom of Lagom Landing

What if the cure for our modern world’s relentless pace isn’t found in doing more, but in simply landing?

Nestled in the wooded hills of Dansville, Lagom Landing offers a gentle invitation to step away from the endless hum of modern life. Here, among Amish neighbors, rolling landscapes, and gullies carved over centuries, guests encounter a place that is quiet yet alive, shaped as much by human hands as by nature’s enduring forces.

Lagom Landing sits on the ancestral, unceded lands of the Onöndowa’ga’, the Seneca Nation, the western doorkeepers of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. is deep history is not forgotten. “We recognize there are layers of displacement and violence that allow us to do our work here,” reflects Laurel Nelson, Lagom’s co-founder and Executive Director. “Being present on this land means cultivating a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration with our Native siblings who continue to live in the region, learning all they have to teach us about the land itself.”

Laurel was raised in Colorado, and she was called to ministry, serving as a Presbyterian minister in Wyoming County, NY for six years. When she met Norman Richard, “Rock,” the two connected. Inspired by the creativity of Rock’s three young adult children and their friends, and by their own experiences in early adulthood as people who didn’t want the traditional college route, they envisioned a space to explore passions, learn practical skills, and reconnect with the land. In 2012, they built a house in Dansville that became the program’s first dormitory, the seed of what would become Lagom Landing.

e name “Lagom” carries deep personal and cultural resonance. Seed funding came from a farm settled by Laurel’s Swedish great-grandfather, a second-generation immigrant who grew up in an orphanage. “Lagom” (pronounced LAH-gome) is a Swedish word meaning “just the right amount” or “enough.” Now in its twel h year, Laurel reflects, “We feel like this was the name we were meant to have. ‘Lagom’ embodies much of what we want to be about.” It’s an ethos of contentment and presence, values deeply needed in a culture addicted to excess and perpetual dissatisfaction.

e Landing strives to embody those principles every day, and Laurel, says,

“We maintain hope that through community and kinship, we will always have ‘just the right amount.’

Our program is designed to instill that spirit in participants, so they leave more at peace with life’s bounty than when they arrived.”

LAUREL NELSON & ROCK CASTOR

But what does it mean to land? Laurel says, “It’s landing into the present moment. It’s an ongoing, moment-to-moment practice. It’s not a destination where you check in and it’s done.”

For ten years, Rock and Laurel “landed” together with ninemonth cohorts of young adults, and in 2022, the Lagom Landing Board voted to offer shorter opportunities for adults of all ages to practice these “landing skills.”

At its core, Lagom Landing is about creating space – physical, emotional, and spiritual. Laurel says, “ e more time I spend here, the more I realize there isn’t much expected of me. Yes, tending the land takes effort, but there’s also this spirit here that feels welcoming and relaxing.”

A primary value at Lagom Landing is the grounding power of physical labor, connecting us to our bodies, to one another, and to the earth. Guests are asked to contribute 1-2 hours of labor daily, whether weeding gardens, cooking meals, clearing trails, leading workshops, making maple syrup, splitting wood, or cleaning shared spaces. is shared labor roots people in the rhythms of the land and community. Rest is equally honored. Guests are encouraged to do whatever restores their body, mind, and spirit, and Laurel says, “If you want to sleep, read, and be alone, that’s fine. But we also believe coming together helps us feel less alone. Our space fosters shared reflection and connection.”

While meals are usually prepared in each unit’s kitchen, guests are encouraged to collaborate. Every Wednesday, the

entire community gathers for a communal dinner, an intentional pause to share stories, deepen connection, and nourish each

Laurel and Rock work with guests to cra personalized experiences, tailored to their own needs and rhythms. Immersive activities vary by season and interest: gardening, food preservation, woodworking, hiking, yoga, maple syrup production, bread baking, Enneagram workshops, and more.

Laurel speaks to how this rhythm nurtures mindfulness and healing: “I’ve caught myself, when tense, reminding myself to breathe and relax. en I get to notice the profound difference between working unconsciously and working with presence.”

Lagom Landing is a welcoming and inclusive community, and Laurel says, “Our program is designed as a brave space for personal development. We believe the gi of working with your hands is empowering for every person, no matter their background or identity.”

Laurel acknowledges a lingering tension: “ ere’s always this worry: is contemplative action enough to impact all the horrors in our world? Our economy and culture push nonstop doing, and slowing down is certainly a privilege. But without reflection, we risk our very existence.”

Ultimately, Lagom Landing’s invitation is simple: pause, breathe, and reconnect, to the land, to community, and to yourself. As Laurel reminds us, “ e living is in the practice.”

FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE

Condition of the property: Product shortages were another trend to emerge during the pandemic, and disruptions to the supply chain will not necessarily go away anytime soon. In addition, the cost of various products associated with home improvements, including lumber, skyrocketed during the pandemic. The National Association of Home Builders noted that while lumber prices declined in 2021, the price of lumber packages quoted to builders remained high.That means real estate investors who invest in properties that will need work could be forced to pay a lot to fix these properties. And ongoing supply chain issues could extend the time it takes to renovate a property. Investors must be able to bear these costs and lag times to make the most off their real estate investments.

Makes 4 servings

SPICY STEAK TAMPICO

4 beef tenderloin medallions (each 6 ounces and 3/4-inch thick)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Seasoned salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 cup roasted green chile peppers (see below)

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1. Brush steaks thoroughly with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Place medallions on preheated grill, close lid and grill, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer registers 145 F for medium rare, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, tent with foil and let stand for 10 minutes.

3. Preheat broiler with rack 3 to 4 inches away from heat. Place steaks on individual ovenproof plates. Top each steak with equal amounts of chile and cheese. Broil until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

To roast chiles: Preheat greased outdoor grill to medium or preheat an oven broiler. Place fresh chiles on outdoor grill or gas stovetop over medium heat or arrange on a baking sheet and place 2 to 3 inches away from heat under broiler. Grill or broil, turning often with tongs, until surfaces of skin are lightly charred and blistered. Immediately place peppers in a paper bag or an airtight container and close tightly. Let peppers cool for 12 to 15 minutes. Peel off charred skin and remove stems and seeds. Tear into strips or chop as needed according to the recipe. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling chiles. Refrigerate peppers for up to 3 days or freeze in airtight container for up to 6 months.

NOTICE

To All Wadsworth Grill Customers Old & New We here at the Grill are always trying to provide various types of quality entertainment for everyone. With these shows and the size of the crowds, comes a parking issue from time to time. Now for 38 plus years, I have had the very best, most tolerant neighbors and I can't sit here and see that go away. Recently I have had a few complaints of some very NON-COURTEOUS customers infringing on my neighbors’ space. First off, you need to stay off of folks’ lawns and out of their driveways; that is private property, not the Grill’s overflow parking area. THINK before you turn your engine off! And should a neighbor ask you to move, PLEASE DO! Don't bring an attitude. Lastly, it would be nice if you weren't emptying your trash in someone’s lawn or on the side of the road. anks for listening, and let’s not allow a good thing to go away. I know a few careless folks can make it crumby for all of us.

PLEASE DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN!

DID YOU KNOW?

Brief breaks during the work day can dramatically improve one’s ability to focus on a task. A 2011 study published in the journal Cognition found that brief mental breaks can improve focus on a prolonged task. The study’s authors tested participants’ ability to focus on a repetitive computerized task for 50 minutes under various conditions. The control group performed the task without breaks or diversions. The switch group and non-switch group memorized four digits before performing the task and were directed to respond if they saw one of the digits on the screen while performing the task. The switch group was the only group to be presented with the digits twice during the experiment, and both groups were tested on their memory of the digits at the end of the task. Most participants’ performance declined considerably over the course of the 50-minute task. However, the performance of those in the switch group did not decline at all, as the two brief breaks to respond to the digits allowed them to maintain their focus throughout the experiment. The researchers behind the study concluded that the switch group’s performance was steady because the brain is built to detect and respond to change, and its performance will actually suffer if it must maintain prolonged attention on a single task without taking a break. Professionals with a lot on their plates may see their performance improve by taking frequent mental breaks throughout the workday.
