It is common to see this behavior in someone concentrating on another task or lost in thought. One theory behind this is that it could stem from the evolution of human communication, as it transitioned from hand gestures to voice. Babies can further demonstrate this link between human gestures and speech. Infants go through a stage of gesturing before they can form words, so language and gestures evolve together.
The study goes on to describe the role of the tongue in many unconscious processes involving the mouth. Examples include forming words, swallowing, and keeping out of the way of the teeth. Nerve endings and tastebuds cover the tongue, and both send a steady stream of information to the brain. The tongue plays a key role in the thinking and language centers in the brain.
It may move to partially form words that a person thinks, not just the words they will say. When a person sticks out their tongue as they concentrate, they temporarily stop communication between the tongue and brain. This frees up brainpower for the task at hand.
When complex tasks involve the hands, this triggers the connection in the brain, which makes the person stick out their tongue involuntarily. In any case, a person who sticks out their tongue during a task is not harmful, nor is it a sign of an underlying issue.

I have noticed a lady that comes into the store, buys coffee, and then takes a paper without paying. After 30 minutes she returns the paper to the rack.
I asked the clerk why I had to pay for my newspaper. The clerk went to the lady to tell her she had to pay. The customer simply said she was "only reading it for a few minutes and then puts it back so why does she have to pay? So how should this be handled?
What can I say to the customer? Maybe we should all "borrow" the newspaper. Why do you need to know how to handle it? Why should you say anything to the customer? It is a matter of the clerk to work out with the customer. And plenty where there is a rack of papers clearly meant for sale. If some pets do hug the walls, I assume they feel safer that way. My girlfriend has strongly recommended I cut the plastic rings from six-pack holders so I don't kill any dolphins or sea life.
I'm of the belief there's no possible way my garbage is reaching the ocean and this is not a Phoenix issue. Can you settle this? You are partly right about this, but six-pack rings are not really the problem.
We are doing plenty of other stuff with plastics that are harmful to the oceans and sea life. In the United States and Canada, laws for several years have required manufacturers of six-pack rings — called yokes — make them percent photo-degradable.
That means those rings will degrade in sunlight, usually within two weeks. However, there are many more forms of plastic you might use daily that pose a more insidious risk.
Toothpastes, shampoos, soaps, detergents and synthetic fabrics contain types of plastics so small as to be microscopic. Fish, sea turtles, sea birds mistake them for food and end up with their digestive systems clogged with such stuff. Wikieup is a little town in Mohave County southeast of Kingman.
