However, the same was not true when the group was asked to count backwards in groups of seven, which the researchers described as a more complex task, requiring a slightly different part of the brain.

不过，当志愿者进行以七为单位的递减减法运算时，这一差距不是那么明显。因为后者属于更为复杂的运算，它和前者使用到的大脑部分有所不同。

The findings also show that the volunteers did not get as tired doing the calculations if they had been given the cocoa drink, despite being asked to do them over and over for an hour.

研究同时发现，如果志愿者饮用了可可饮料，即使他们不停地做上一个小时的运算，也不容易产生疲劳感。
