Doodling Helps You in School?

by Moin Uddin Ahmed Tipu March 20, 2013

Classroom sketchers and scribblers rejoice: doodling can improve your recall! In this DNews video, Laci looks at a new study that gives hope to everyday artistes.

“What Does Doodling do?”

“Doodling is a way of passing the time when bored by a lecture or telephone call. Does it improve or hinder attention to the primary task?”

“Can Doodling Improve Memory and Concentration?”

“An experiment suggests doodling may be more than just a pleasant waste of time and paper.”

“Boredom Explained (in under 300 words)”

“What is the best psychological strategy to avoid boredom?”

DNews is a show about the science of everyday life. We post two new videos every day of the week.

Lol if I get bored in class I doodle but I put in the corner of my paper "don't worry I'm listening" so I don't get in trouble for drawing

You should see my notebooks 😂 doodles everywhere. I use to get in so much trouble. On teacher said "YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE TAKING NOTES FOR THE TEST WHEN YOU FAIL I WANT AN APOLOGY" needless to say I passed the test and got the bonus questions and asked her for an apology

I always HAVE to be doing something, I carry small sketchbooks in my pocket because if I don’t draw, I think I’d murder someone…

I don't doodle in class but I'm always listening for the bits and pieces about which I could argue with my friends and the teachers , so I'm never bored .

I used to daydream in class and thought it be better to draw stuff rather than try to listen. At least I'm doing something I like. Turns out I payed way more attention when I was drawing. Tests passed(yay)
