Group Tested for Educational Use and Potential
For the experiment that tested one’s scholarly abilities, I made a control group where I had 7 people try to solve three riddles without any music at all. After I finished the control experiment, I had 13 more people begin solving their first riddle without music. I called this part of the experiment trial 1. Then, I had those people solve a riddle while I played some relaxing music near their ears. I called this part trial 2. Finally, I had the test subjects tell me what their favorite type of music was, which I played for them while they solved their third and final riddle. I called this part trial 3. Because the time that each person finished varied too much, I left out that information and kept the information surrounding the amount of fidgeting there was, if any, as well as the levels of …show more content…

In fact, the music that one enjoyed listening to seemed to distract them more as they increased the amount of fidgeting that they previously did not have before, such as biting nails, shaking their legs, and scrunching eyebrows while leaning forward to further assess the riddle multiple times over. Each subject indicated that they were significantly more stressed out because they were more focused on their favorite song rather than their concentration on the riddle.
For the relaxing music, results showed that people had an increased amount of concentration, shown through the fact that more people were able to complete the solving of their riddle while still listening intently to the tune. The extent of the fidgeting went only as far as leaning forward to re-read as well as some nail biting. However, the relaxing music seemed to be very effective in aiding the test subject’s concentration while also relaxing their tension of being “bad” at solving

Rock music was one of the chosen music that were used in the experiment because of its loudness and loud music is known to be distractive on the brain. It has good and bad effects on memory, Symphony was also one of the chosen music that were used in the experiment because it’s a soft music and it has mostly good effects on the memory by helping a person to relieve their stress and it basically helps a person to relax. A set of research results indicating that listening to Symphony music may induce a short-term improvement on the performance of certain kinds of mental tasks known as "spatial-temporal reasoning; Popularized versions of the hypothesis, which suggest that "listening to Symphony types of music makes you smarter", or that early childhood exposure to classical music has a beneficial effect on mental development; Interestingly, while the findings of this study revealed that it is the intensity of the music rather than the type of music that matters the most when it comes to cognitive performance, it is still noteworthy to point out that scores were significantly higher when participants completed the tests in the no condition.

Dr. Doodley hypothesized that fast music would enhance people’s work performance. To test her hypothesis, she chose two different secretarial pools and chose to control what speed of music they would be working with, making that the independent variable, while the dependent variable is the performance of the groups based on the type of music they listened to while working. Based on the experiment’s purpose, the experimental group is the pool exposed to fast music. In which case, the control group would be the pool exposed to slow music.
