Description

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the genre of music listened to and its impact on enhancing focus and concentration during puzzle-solving, as measured by completion time, across a diverse sample of individuals. The researcher, Daniyal Kheradmand, conducted the study at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) on a sample of 50 students and employees. Participants were required to solve two simple puzzles (9 pieces) while listening to their favorite music and without music. The time taken to complete each puzzle was recorded and compared. Results showed that 68% of participants completed the puzzle faster while listening to music. These findings suggest that listening to music, including one's favorite music, can improve concentration and enhance the learning process. The study emphasizes the importance of individual preferences when utilizing music as a tool to increase concentration.
