Many people
like to study while listening to music, watching television or listening to the
radio. But according to some research, study while listening to music is not
good for your brain. Recent research shows that the habit of students who like
to listen to music when studying brings negative effect on the brain. Studying
while listening to music, is not appropriate, because the background music can
affect the brain’s ability to perform tasks related to memory, which in turn
also affects concentration.
However,
there are also many people feel that by listening to some music while studying
can increase their concentration. They say study while listening to some music
will give them comfortable condition and make them easier to concentrate on
what they are studying.
In my
opinion, the effectiveness of study while listening to music is depends on the
people itself. The key question to ask yourself would be "Am I spending
more time listening to the music than I am spending on my studies?" If the
answer is yes, then you need to cut the music down or turn it off altogether.
If you ask me is it effective to study while listening to music? My answer
would be no, because according to my experience it is easier for me to
concentrate when it is quiet than when there are some music that being played
on
In my opinion study while listening to the music will be good depending on the kind of songs our chose. According to research conducted by Phoenix Univesity slow beat music especially classical music, gives positive effects on memory recall, heightened arousal and mood, as it reduced blood pressure, heartbeat and stress. But, avoid fast-paced type of music or have loud drumbeats, like rock or heavy metal. This kind of music paying closer attention to the listener and can be distract our concentration.
BalasHapusAlthough, I not suggest to study while listening music even slow-paced music for lesson that need full our concentration like physics or math.
However, like kevin said it depends on the people itself.
I agree with what Kevin said studying in quiet situation is more easier for me to concentrate. According to what i read in article "Students – Listening to Music While Studying Can Help!" from the internet, she research about effect of music while studying. The result are the average exercise from people that studying in quiet situation was 90, the result from people that studying while listening to classic music was 83, and the result from people that studying while listening to popular music was 72.
BalasHapusTo sum up, the best situation to study in a quiet situation. However students are more likely to study while listening to music than to study in silence. So, i prefer to students that like listening music is studying while listen classic music.
Well, I agree with the research. I think it’ll be more effective if we study without music, because we will be more focus to the subject. Sometimes people will start to sing after listening to music,that can disturb our concentartion.
BalasHapusBut there are some people who aremore comfortable to listen to music while studying,and i think sometimes its help, for example when we’re sleepy and we need to study, listening to music can be an alternative to study. But there are some cases that i think we shouldn’t listen to music. Like if we’re studying Biology or some subjects that we must understand from a text, not like mathematics or physics.
