(C)
What’s the best way to study for a big test? And what’s the best way to remember information? I have an important test next week and want to try something new, maybe music. The research on music and memory (记忆) is interesting. Music can help you learn and remember in certain ways.
Music in the background may help learning. One study shows that students with good memories learn words better when they listen to quiet music. Students with poor memories do worse. The kind of music is also important. It should be soft and gentle. Even people with good memories learn and remember less if they listen to noisy, angry music.
Another study looks at music and solving problems. In the study, they ask people to solve a problem and think creatively. If there isn’t any background music at all, people do worse on the task. But when people work with background conversation, it does not hurt their problem solving. If you have to pay full attention to something, background noise may be OK, but music hurts rather than helps.
In fact, certain kinds of music help us remember information. Songs are very good at this. In a recent study, students learned words in a foreign language much more quickly when they put them in a song. It’s not the music itself; it’s the way information is put together. Songs repeat both sounds and beats. The end of each line in a song often has the same sound, or rhyme. The rhyme helps your memory. Do you know the alphabet song that begins: ABCDEFG, HIJK, LMNO? The beats and the rhyming of G and P help children to remember the letters.
What is the best plan to study for my test? I think a quiet place will help me learn difficult information, and I’ll make a song to help me learn my new words. What study plan do you think is best for you?
