Andre, a student preparing for his final exams, has an argument with his parents regarding the use of IPod during study hours. According to his parents, listening to music while studying affects cognitive performance and will pose serious impediments in Andre’s ability to focus. But Andre provides a counter-argument, as he believes that music acts as a stress buster. He says that it helps in the release of dopamine that relieves stress and relaxes the mind. Do you agree with Andre? Provide justification for your answer in about 200-300 words.
DO NOT COPY PASTE. PLEASE TYPE.
I am not agree with Andre. His parents statement is absolutely right. In the study, they also found that participants performed better on a cognitive processing test while listening to no music than they did whike listening to either stimulating or sedative music. They determined that personality is impaired with music and optimized with no music.
According to me,If Andre have any kind of stress related to study then he can listen music before or after study but when he is studying he should avoid any kind of distraction even music too.
But some hypothesis suggests that performance would be better in the soft music condition when compared to the loud music condition because it is believed that classical music would provide a positive, soothing, and comfortable environment for the participants due to its relaxing tone that will facilitate information processing. However, that hypothesis is not supported by the results; it is important to note that the overall performance is significantly lower in the loud music at high intensity. Based on these results, the presence of lyrics and the consistent use of louder instruments, such as drums, bass and, electric guitar to the heavy metal rock music can be seen as reasons for its distracting effects.
But again i am saying according to me don't listen music when study.
