My son has dysgraphia. His occupational therapist found that his penmanship greatly improved when he chewed gum. He also had a very slow processing speed for his I.Q.
Was it the effect of chewing on processing speed that improved his handwriting or more
directly?

Same here Jon. I find chewing very relaxing and it helps to focus my thoughts. It’s really quite interesting.

I also find chewing very relaxing,when I am stressed, so thanks for this great information. I never realized our brain’s processing speed increases.

I too have found chewing gum to have a calming effect during times of stress.

Funny but my co-workers can tell when I’m trying to solve problems at work by the rate of my jaw movement while chewing gum.

This is a very informative article. When I’m stressed out, I have the urge for chewing gums. It really relaxes my mind. I never thought that chewing can increase the processing speed of our brain. Anyway, this is a great study. Thanks for sharing! 😀
