Why do we scratch our heads when we are confused or perplexed? Some people scratch the side of their noses. In class, when a student is asked about a question and he does not know the answer he begins to scratch his head. We do the same in difficult situations or difficult puzzles. Why do we do it? The brain is up there. Do we ask it to give us the answer or help us with that gesture?

Shinoj, ningal ko walary nanny! Thanks for pressing the like button. Is it possible to be one of your friends? Thanks.
And that was really, a good answer, moderator Paula. You know something mod. Paula, the logic is always acceptable. Because it goes with the reason. Most members agreed on that gesture as if to beg the brain to support them with something. So, by rubbing or scratching that area, they tend to do so, remembering or finding the answer. Didn't I tell you moderator Paula, your comments are always needed. Thanks, my dear friend for this useful intervention.
Tamam Ya Samo Yemen! Instead of saying, I don't know, he could do it to avoid embarrassment. Thanks, Samo for your nice and polite answer.
This is funny :D I have never scratched my head to think . I am that kind of person where things appears in my eyes . It's a nice discussion dara:)
What a gues,s Ama! That was purely scientific, my dear good lady. Umeed, Svitlana, Darius, Janeth, and some other members referred to that. It is a signal from the brain through the nerves to the scratched area. I really like your comment, but one thing remains, I am hoping to receive the friend request as soon as you can. Thanks, Ama for your nice and logical explanation.
Kimon acho Tahmid vai? I really hope to be one of your friends. Thanks for your comment, too. Don't forget to send me the friend request.
Tamam ya Abu Humaid! Shookrun! I like your short comment. I suppose you are right, Ahmed. Thank you very much for this useful answer.
I have never thought of that :D, but I guess it is like a gesture to give an inderict answer like " I dont know !" ,since some people feel embrassed to say it directly .
Hi dara,
Most of the time our gestures accompany the mood swings.For instance when we don't feel secure we tie our arms.This happens insinctively and regardless any rational reason..On the other hand, maybe while thinking of something intensely or trying to find an answer for a hard question,scratching head allerts the nerve cells by increasing blood pressure..just a guess in fact..thanks for this discussion.
Khaili mumnoon Saba! How are you and where have you been? You are not online only rarely. I hope you are fine. Yes, I agree with you. Nabiga Darius has nice ideas. Thanks, Saba for your nice comment.
