Cognitive performance and sounds: the effects of lyrical music and pink noise on performance
Get PDFGiven that a large percentage of students listen to music while studying, we investigated whether external noise could
impair learning. In the current experiment, participants were tested on their performance in reading comprehension
while listening to different types of sound. Undergraduate students (N = 70) were asked to read a passage while
listening to either pink noise (equivalent to the spectrum of natural sound), pop music (genre of popular music), or
read in silence. After reading an informative passage and completing a brief distractor task, participants completed a
final test to assess their performance. Afterwards, participants answered questions on their personal study habits. We
hypothesized that listening to pink noise while studying would improve cognitive performance compared to listening
to pop music or studying in silence. In addition, we predicted that listening to pop music while studying would impair
performance relative to pink noise and studying in silence. Results indicated no difference for the different types of
sound on performance, suggesting that studying with sound has a minimal impact on learning.Kalif E. Vaughn, Faculty mento
Pen Chromaticity’s Effect on the Recall of Details Following Lecture Annotation
Get PDFWhen you think of failure, what color comes to mind? If you thought red, you
are not alone. Previous studies have indicated that the color red, when seen
on exam booklets, worsens academic performance. Nonetheless, some studies
find no evidence that red worsens performance, or that its effects depend on
the gender of the test taker. The purpose of this study was to investigate the
effect of pen color used while taking notes during a lecture on subsequent test
scores, perceptions of test difficulty, and note-taking behavior. The data were
analyzed using 2 (pen color) x 2 (participant gender) ANOVAs. The results were
partially consistent with the hypothesis: we found that use of a red pen resulted
in worsened performance compared to use of a blue pen, but only among
males. Among females, use of a red pen enhanced performance relative to a
blue pen. We found this pattern of results on questions measuring recall but
not recognition. We discuss the implications of pen color choice for studying
and grading. If students are more aware of the effect of color on academic
performance, they may be able to retain and recall more information simply by
changing their pen color.Kathleen Fuegen, Faculty mento
