Silence is Golden
October 24, 2012
The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us.
-Ashley Montagu

"Classical or instrumental music enhances mental performance more than music with lyrics. Music can make rote or routine tasks (think folding laundry or filing papers) less boring and more enjoyable. Runners who listen to music go faster. But when you need to give learning and remembering your full attention, silence is golden."

I totally disagree with this research. From my studying of how the brain works, and over forty years of observing how children learn, it is very clear to me that processing information is a highly idiosyncratic activity: some prefer silence, others (like me) have to have classical music in the background, and still others need more stimulation to be able to think clearly!
