"He blasts music all the time. I tell him to turn it off, but he says it helps. How could it? We fight all the time about this. Does it help? Should I let him listen?”

Some prefer pin-drop silence while studying but there are many students who enjoy some background noise. Which is most effective? Science has the answer.

It has long been known that music can affect your mood and mental state. New research suggests that it can also help increase cognitive abilities and improve memory. Believe it or not, listening to certain types of music can help you learn. Playing music in the background while studying can heighten your ability to focus, as well as help you retain information you have learned, by making your brain feel more excited and interested in the subject matter.
