Are pretty faces a distraction or motivation to improve your memory? According to a new study published in the journal Evolutionary Psychology, it's the latter — attractive people ignite a motivational impulse that makes others work harder to impress them.
"Although
intuition might suggest that exposure to highly attractive people would
be distracting and would impair cognitive performance," said the
study’s lead researcher Michael Baker, a psychologist at East Carolina
University, in a press release,
"mating goals might lead people to display desirable mental traits." To
test the theory, Baker and a team of researchers from East Carolina
University conducted two experiments: First, they recruited 58
heterosexual college students and assigned half of them to view the
opposite sex's face for seven seconds straight. Half of the participants
were randomly designated to look at highly-attractive faces, while the others had to stare at average-looking faces.
