Allen's Whistle

Allen's Whistle is a technique used in psychology to study how individuals reason and make decisions. It involves asking a person to listen to a continuous, high-pitched tone, like a whistle, while they work through a problem. The idea is that focusing on the sound helps to reduce internal distractions, allowing the person to think more clearly and logically. By guiding their attention, Allen's Whistle can improve decision-making and problem-solving, and it is often used in cognitive and behavioral research to better understand focus, attention, and mental processes.
