It was suggested that the productivity gain occurred due to the impact of the motivational effect on the workers as a result of the interest being shown in them.

It is commonly heard when a vehicle sounding a siren or horn approaches‚ passes‚ and recedes from an observer. The received frequency is higher (compared to the emitted frequency) during the approach‚ it is identical at the instant of passing by‚ and it is lower during the

Attention : The effects of automatic and controlled processing Abstract The theory of attention was focused on within the experiment‚ using a modified version of the Stroop effect. The stroop effect suggests that automatic and controlled processing can conflict with each other making it difficult to focus on a particular task. Participants were asked to look at two sets of stimuli which contained words written in coloured ink‚ colour related words and neutral words. Participants were asked
