Why are these skills so important NOW?
In times of uncertainty, anxiety can take precedence over critical thinking.
Strained by the circumstances of self-quarantine and overstimulated by the media we can find ourselves confused or exhausted, lacking the capacity to employ creativity or increase productivity while working or learning, or to regain calm and composure during our time off.
This applies to children and adults, but families as a whole too.
- The uncertainty of the crisis makes it hard to anticipate the outcomes and disrupts our ability to act in alignment with our predictions. Uncertainty thus results in anxiety1. Anxiety channelizes our attention to aversive stimuli and reduces our capacities to think creatively and do more complex problem-solving.
- In the light of COVID-19, the enormous volume of health information available on the internet cause information overload for many online information seekers. The inability to locate, process and manage health information harms psychological well-being2.
- We are being over-stimulated by the media with frequents updates about the COVID-19. Our shifting from one media source to the other (media-multitasking) correlates with negative effects on executive functioning – attention, memory and cognitive flexibility3.
- The stress of merging work and home, individual and family time, relaxation and productivity is affecting the way we process information. We need to be able to shift from focus to relaxation, from structure to the lack of it, from decision-making to brainstorming solutions.
- The lack of change in the environment during self-quarantine can make us feel depleted. We need the novelty and stimulation to awaken the networks we use to adapt to the changing environments.
- Being at home in self-quarantine, both children and adults are tempted to spend more passive screen time for entertainment which can negatively our brain structure and development4.
- Self-quarantine requires a capacity to re-invent daily routines. We need to actively engage our cognitive processes to think of solutions to adapt to the “new normal” in this indefinite period.
- The stress hormones negatively impact memory. The more stressed out we are the more likely we are to experience difficulty remembering information5.
