Silence is necessary to study? Yes , no? Explain.?

Answer 1

Yes. I have a terrible time with concentrating due to mental illness. If I hear, see, say or do anything else while I am trying to study, I have no idea what I was supposed to be concentrating on. I totally lose touch with what I am studying. I take frequent breaks so that I don't go crazy, but I do have to have silence when I study.

Answer 2

For me personally, I need silence or white noise. Some forms of classical music (especially baroque, for me) are ok in the background, so long as it isn't something I recognize (or else I'll start humming along!).

A recent study suggests that if you study with the tv on, say, then you will have a hard time recalling what you learned unless the same tv show is on again. And since most teachers frown upon having students watch tv while taking a test....

Answer 3

This depends largely on the person.

Some people insist on silence to study. They insist the smallest noise distracts them. Silence can be helpful in the learning process, allowing the total focus of the mind on the problem. Still, people can learn to study without silence.

Some people need noise in order to study. They insist silence is deafening. Noise, for some, is helpful in the learning process, particularly for those who do not try to focus their minds totally, simply letting the facts they are studying become part of the stream of information coming from all around. Still, they can learn to study without noise.

All that said, it is best to try to study in the area where you will be tested or in a similar environment. Why? Because being in the place where you will be tested or somewhere similar allows you easier access to the information in your memory at the time you will be tested.

Answer 4

Depends on the person.

I can study around noise and one good friend of mine claims he studies better in cafes and such.

So, no it is not necessary for study, but for some people it might be if they get distracted by noise.

Answer 5

Classical music playing softly in the background stimulates the dendrites in the brain and often times has been shown to produce higher tests scores

Answer 6

it really depends on the person. for some people who are not stimulated by hearing things as much as others....silence is good. for others who rely on hearing...sound and music may be good. for example, one who likes to hear things may find it easier to rewrite the words to their favorite song with the notes they are studying. hearing this song may help implant the info in their minds.

Answer 7

Yes - it decreases distractions - you can not effectively learn with distractions.
