listening to music while studying

[sunnycalifornia]

who here does it? do you guys listen to your usual music or do you guys have specific study music?

and does anyone know if you're not suppose to listen to music while studying?

I've heard listening to Classical music is good for studying and actually ups your IQ as you listen to it. Don't knw about anything else though. I personally don't use music.

I've got a playlist on my laptop that I listen to while studying or doing assignments, I find it helps because I study in a library that is pretty noisy (for a library) and it helps me focus alittle better

i can do it if I am doing a problem set such as math or econ or chemistry but not if im reading.

from psychology class i've learned that you should study in an environment similar to that which you will need to recall the information.. i.e. study in quiet as you will be recalling in a quiet room... regardless i cant really think when im listening to music so i dont study with it

OP,

I always had headphones on when I was doing any type of school-related work.

I suck at doing more than one thing at a time. I can read or listen to music, but not both.

I can only do both. I'd rather do neither than just one. (and yes, I know this is a problem)
