I suppose this could be true. Before getting too excited, I have to weigh this information against the procrastination-prone behavior of taking too long to think about things before actually starting on any work. At least the results are noteworthy in a lab setting.<p>As an aside, my senses are sharp (maybe not <i>common sense</i>), but the benefits are a little counter-intuitive, like the conclusion here. I can see very small things up-close and far away, more than a good chunk of my peers. I can also hear conversations from very far away, to the surprise of people around me. Somehow, I still miss so many things that are obvious to others. I wonder if having too sharp senses gives one too many inputs to process, leading to a similar result as this study here.
