Does Music has an Effect on your Productiveness

Would we get distracted doing a test while listening to Music? That depends on the task.
Listen to music on a portable Bluetooth Speaker.

"Absorbing and remembering new information is best done with the music off." 

That is the conclusion after an experiment performed, were adults aged 18 to 30 were asked to recall a series of sounds presented in a particular order. Participants’ performance suffered when music was played while they carried out the task as compared to when they completed the task in a quiet environment. 

Other studies have found the following: 

1. A number of studies have found, for example, that surgeons often listen to music in the operating room and that they work more effectively when they do. 
2. A study presented at the International Conference on Traffic and Transport Psychology, reported that singing along with music in a car may slow drivers’ responses to potential hazards. 
3. A Canadian researcher asked the participants in a experiment to learn the lyrics Singing these songs while operating a simulated car increased drivers’ mental workload, leading them to scan their visual field less often and to focus instead on the road right in front of them.

Facts: 

• Classical or instrumental music enhances mental performance more than music with lyrics. 
• Music can make rote or routine tasks less boring and more enjoyable. 
• Silence is for when you need to give learning and remembering your full attention.
