really? you tried it so hard? well, let's just say that there are some people who really love it and there also some people who didn't feel comfortable listening to music while studying... Then, it means that you're not the type of person who did some weird things.. Of course, i can't blame you this because people are not always alike, you know!..

i did not say that all people can be like me that can do more job with music. but if you are memorizing according to my instructor in public speaking and debate, sugar can help you in memorizing but again not all people. try sweet candy. but according to psychology, the best way to memorize is before you sleep, try memorizing, and waking up early as 3am then try it again,.
however if you are dealing with problem solving like such in mathematics, you do not have to memorize, you have to understand an put into a constant practice.that way you will not easily forget it.

I put music on when I am studying too. It block out unwanted background noises and I am not a fan of silence, so music helps me relax and concentrate. I do not find it distracting, unless it is someone else's music, which I do not like.

It depends on what kind of music you are listening to.
I don't listen to music while I' studying, but I;ll listen to some music after I finish my work as a way to relax.I usually listen to Bandary or Dan Gibson
I f I'm on holiday,I'll surf for some pop songs

It is not at all weird for me since I also listen to music when I am reading or studying or doing my household chores.I am listening to music even right now and myLotting at the same time.I always like to hear music on the background, I can enjoy the music and concentrate better on whatever I am doing.Have a lovely day!

I read a book once while listening to a new tape I just bought. It played over and over again. Now I associate that book with that recording. And I remember the book and even certain passages within it. I only remember one or two other books I read as a kid.
Studies have shown that if you read something you have a certain percent ability to remember it. If you read something while listening to something, you have a increased ability to recall what you read. If you were Reading something while listening to something and drawing or writing you have an even greater chance of remembering.
People form associations in order to remember. If you study in a quiet room, there is nothing to associate with. If you study while drawing a diagram or listening to non-competing music it certainly can improve your results.

Hi, this is true. There are some who keep the music on as they go study. I personally one of my friends in the hostel. He used to put on the ear phone and put on a mini cosset player on. When asked he would say he never felt distracted in his study. It seems weird but real and possible too.

When I wasin college I used to listen to music VERY loudly when I was studying. It always helped me to concentrate better, and now that i have a full time job as well I listen to music all day long just so that I can keep motivated and concentrate better. I love it. Mostly hip hop and pop music. not anything like opera or soothing music. I dont like listening to that. That makes me want to go to sleep.
