NSGDC Study
In 2003, a study was conducted by the NSGCD, the purpose of which was to collect data on the effectiveness of using special techniques with clients to avoid kinetic sympathy. Organizers working with CD clients at their desks were asked to use the kinetic sympathy avoidance process by asking their respective clients to hold a mug, drinking glass, or plastic or metal tumbler as a distracting device while working together. The survey was meant to see if, by holding a solid "distraction" item, the client would exhibit less noticeable kinetic sympathy and, therefore, have a more successful paper processing session. The survey achieved mixed results. However, clients who listed OCD and/or ADD among their disorders were shown find the "distraction" item very helpful in their concentration.

Famous quotes containing the word study:
“Then, though I prize my friends, I cannot afford to talk with them and study their visions, lest I lose my own. It would indeed give me a certain household joy to quit this lofty seeking, this spiritual astronomy, or search of stars, and come down to warm sympathies with you; but then I know well I shall mourn always the vanishing of my mighty gods.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
