Why and how does it help?
It helps students focus
Spreeder.com also claims that it helps you read faster
Reading gets slowed down due to an internal voice (mouth must move while brain processes words)
With gum in your mouth the voice is eliminated
This leaves you reading faster
Gum is proven to improve memoryThis is especially true when you eat the same flavor gum when you are studying and taking the testBecause gum makes blood rush to headThe effect only lasts a 15-20 minutes thoughBetter results when motion of chewing is done unconciouslyGum keeps students awakeThis is called mastication induced arousalIncrease in blood pressure, heart rate, and blood flowAntioxidants are chemicals that keep your brain awakeGum has lots of themCan be compared to effect of music and exerciseSlide5
Evidence 2- Students follow more rules
Cheating
Cheating is sometimes done by talking
With gum in your mouth it would be harder to cheat
Vandalism
Many students stick gum on the bottoms of desks
This is because they are afraid to throw it away and get caught with gumIf gum is allowed then, nobody will be afraid to get up and throw it away“Smuggling”If gum is allowed then nobody has to hide itSlide6
