Why do some people stick out tongue while concentrating?

The real reason to this, psychologists say, is because there is a significant amount of background processing that goes on in the brain that controls the movement of our tongue. We are of course unaware of this but when a person is trying to concentrate on a mind-intensive task at hand they tend to involuntarily stick out their tongue or fixate their tongue between their teeth or up against the top of the ceiling. This is to relieve the brain of any background processing and to fully focus on the task.
