Ⅳ.七选五
Procrastination(拖延症) Tech Support
Choosing between immediate satisfaction and future benefit can easily lead to short-sighted decisions:Watching TV instead of going to the gym,for example,or going through social media rather than working on a challenging project. 1 
To guide individuals toward greatest choices,Falk Lieder,a cognitive scientist,and his colleagues designed a digital tool called a “cognitive prosthesis”.It uses artificial intelligence to match a decision’s immediate reward with its long-term worth after making a to-do list.The researchers developed a set of models and algorithms(算法) that consider various elements such as a list of tasks,an individual’s unwillingness to each and the amount of time available. 2  It helps to encourage that person to complete them all.
The idea was to turn the challenging projects that people pursue in the real world into a game like environment.“The point system gives people achievable goals that signal that they’re making progress.” Lieder says.
 3  The results,published online in August in Nature Human Behavior,revealed that the AI support system helped people make better,faster decisions and procrastinate less—and it made them more likely to complete all the assigned tasks.In one experiment,in which the researchers presented 120 participants with a list of several writing assignments, 4 However,the rate was only 56 percent for those not using it.
Lieder says one of the current tool’s limitations is that it can handle only short to-do lists. 5  At the same time,they are working with a company called Complice to integrate the tool into an existing to-do list app.The researchers also plan to run field experiments to see how well their cognitive prosthesis succeeds in the real world.
A.People often struggle to do what’s best for them in the long run.
B.The team tested this tool in a series of experiments with human subjects.
C.The system then assigns reward points to each task in a way that is customized.
D.And now,he and his team are trying to develop it up for a larger number of tasks.
E.they found that 85 percent of individuals who used the tool completed all their tasks.
F.A study was conducted to find a way to help people increase their decision-making ability.
G.this tool is a convincing demonstration that procrastination is something that this strategy can help with quite a lot.
