Professor: In our discussion of study habits, I want to highlight a recent finding. A study published last year explored how different types of music affect concentration. The researchers found that students who listened to instrumental music, particularly classical or ambient music, performed significantly better on cognitive tasks than those who listened to music with lyrics. The theory is that the human brain can be distracted by processing language, even in the background. So, when you're preparing for your midterms, consider choosing your study playlist carefully.
