Chapter 370 Yerkes-Dawson Trap
I love my teacher, and I love the truth more.

Guilt?

Zuo Zi told the three of Yu Fan that Lai Bushuang came to the box to find him, probably because of guilt, why?
Yu Fan: "Professor Zuo, you said that Lai Bushuang is because of guilt? Where did you start?"

Zuo Zi rubbed his temples with his hands, and said, "Lai Bushuang is a clever apprentice, but unfortunately he still couldn't avoid the impetuous aura of the young man. , wanted to go faster and faster, and eventually fell into the 'Yerkes-Dawson Trap'."

Guo Na asked curiously: "What is the Yerkes-Dawson trap?"

Yu Fan: "The Yerkes-Dawson trap, also known as the Yerkes-Dawson law, is a law in psychology. In 1980, psychologists Yerkes and Dawson discovered through animal experiments that with the subject As the difficulty increases, the optimal level of motivation tends to decline gradually. This phenomenon is called the Yerkes-Dawson law. Subsequent studies on humans have proved that there is a relationship between the efficiency of individual intellectual activities and its corresponding anxiety level. A certain functional relationship is shown as an inverted "U"-shaped curve. That is, as the test anxiety level increases, the individual's enthusiasm, initiative and willpower to overcome difficulties will also increase. At this time, the anxiety level can have an effect on efficiency. When the anxiety level is moderate, the efficiency of ability exertion is the highest; when the anxiety level exceeds a certain limit, excessive anxiety will hinder learning and ability performance.”

Guo Na concluded: "That is to say, proper anxiety and concentration can improve people's efficiency, but if it exceeds a certain degree, it will be counterproductive."

Zuo Zircon: "Exactly. At first, the two of us were responsible for the research and development of cancer-targeted drugs in our research institute. We adopted a division of labor model, that is to say, we worked in two teams, and we probably had to do a total of There are more than 500 sets of experiments, and our two teams conduct more than 200 experiments respectively. Then we regularly summarize and collide the data."

Yu Fan: "This is a very normal research mode, which is conducive to the authenticity and accuracy of the data, and can also stimulate the speed of research and development, but the disadvantage is that if the speed of a project team is slow, it will drag down the overall research and development. You just now Is he guilty? Is it because Lai Boushuang fell into the Yekes-Dawson trap, resulting in lower efficiency, and his project progress was completed too slowly, dragging down the overall progress?"

Zuo Zi smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "No, on the contrary, he is too fast."

Chen Xingyang wondered: "What's the situation? It's fast and slow for a while? Why do I become more and more confused the more I listen?"

Zuo Zircon: "Don't worry, just listen to me slowly. At first, my apprentice and I started experimenting in two project groups. My apprentice also inherited my style—independent research and development style. I am the main body, equipped with one or two assistants, and independently research and develop. The advantage is that the confidentiality of information can be done very well, and for the refined experimental data, it can be completely independent and self-thinking without external interference. "

Yu Fan: "This R&D method is suitable for talented and creative researchers. They need a broad thinking space and platform. Let him control the overall situation alone, which is also the choice for maximizing efficiency."

Zuo Zircon: "That's right, Lai Bu Shuang is such a genius. At first, his experiments progressed very quickly. When I raced against time to do 50 sets of experiments, he had already done 76 sets of experiments. It was smooth sailing. However This speed did not satisfy him, and he began to study harder, filling up his time. However, this kind of investment made his efficiency not increase but decreased, and his experiment progress became slower and slower. As for me who is slower than my old eyes. When I finished the 103rd set of experiments, he had just completed the 97th set of experiments."

Chen Xingyang: "It's nothing, just adjust and adjust the state, take a break and catch up with the progress again."

Zuo Zircon: "Hey... yes, it would be great if Lai Bushuang could understand this simple and simple truth. It is a pity that a genius like Lai Bushuang has always been the best among his peers since he was a child. He was the first in his class in high school and university, how could he allow himself to be slower than others? His strong personality made him suffer, and the more he saw that his project progress was slow, the more he wanted to work harder , the lower the efficiency. In the Yerkes-Dawson trap, he got deeper and deeper..."

Chen Xingyang: "Wait... What you just said is exactly the opposite. You said he was too fast?"

Zuo Zircon: "How can Lai Bushuang just bow to fate like this? He finally found a solution, a solution that is completely different from mine! This also casts a shadow over our mentor-student relationship."

Guo Na: "Completely different scheme? Shadow?"

Zuo Zircon: "Before in the research institute, he was my apprentice. He has always followed my ideas and copied my research and development methods. But he was not willing to stagnate in the speed of experiments, so he looked for other helpers! He used his classmates , I found a biopharmaceutical research institute in country M, and that research institute promised that we would provide samples of biopharmaceuticals, and as long as they paid a certain fee, they could use their more advanced equipment to help us obtain experimental data quickly and keep it confidential. "

Yu Fan: "As far as I know, foreign scientific research institutions are actually wolves in sheep's clothing. They have been monitoring and plagiarizing our research and development secretly under the banner of scientific research cooperation over the years. The data they said Secrecy is all a pretense, and they keep saying that they value intellectual property rights, but they are actually the biggest robbers.”

Zuo Zi nodded vigorously twice, expressing his approval, and said: "Yes, but Lai Bushuang doesn't understand this truth, he is still too simple, because of this matter, I had a big fight with him, I have never been so severe. I reprimanded him. I warned him that if we cooperate with these overseas scientific research institutions, our experimental data will most likely be backed up by them. In the end, our research will be used as a wedding dress for others. But Lai is not happy to listen, he It is said that people in the West are more civilized, understand business ethics better, and respect privacy and human rights more.”

"Fuck me, many of these Western countries are double-standard dogs, okay? We policemen know their sophistry logic best!" Chen Xingyang scolded.

Zuo Zircon sighed, and said: "However, the development of the matter gradually lost my control. As Lai Bushuang began to cooperate with overseas research institutions, the progress of his experiment was accelerated again. He was ecstatic, and put this method I told our leader, and our leader thought that this was a good way. So he intensified, and even invited people from the research institute in country M to come here for close guidance. In my opinion, this is an extremely stupid behavior, and it is also Extremely dangerous. But they don't seem to care about these safety issues, in their eyes, only one word is the most important!"

Guo Na: "Which word?"

Zuo Zircon: "Quick!"
