Half of the children are taught in a serious atmosphere, the other half learn in a fun and humorous atmosphere. Later, the researchers looked at how the children repeated the act of taking the duck and found 94% of the group happy to get the duck themselves, while only 26% of the group completed the task.

Improve memory

In a study by Linda Loma University, California (USA), 20 elderly people were divided into two groups, one group watched comedies, the other sat quietly for 20 minutes. Before and after, they had to perform short-term memory tests.

As a result, the memory test of the comedy group saw a significant increase of 43.6% compared to 20% of the group sitting still. Scientists say that smile is a great tool to deal with senile memory loss.

Many studies show that smiles reduce hormones causing stress, boosting the immune system, and optimism. Smile therapy has been applied in many world health care centers.
