Description
Studying with music can affect your brain in several ways. Here are a few: 1. Enhanced Focus: For some people, music can help create a conducive environment for studying by masking background noise and promoting focus. 2. Mood Regulation: Music has the potential to affect mood, which in turn can influence cognitive processes like memory and attention. Listening to music you enjoy can help regulate mood and reduce stress, which may positively impact studying. 3. Memory Association: Certain types of music may become associated with studying, creating a sort of "cue" that triggers memory recall during exams or when revisiting material. 4. Distraction: On the flip side, music with lyrics or a fast tempo can be distracting for some individuals, making it harder to concentrate on studying tasks. Overall, the effects of studying with music vary from person to person, so my literature review aims to explain research on how listening to music can effect the brain, learning, and memory applications in students with and without learning disabilities like ADHD, for example.
