EEG: Electroencephalograph: a test that detects electrical activity in your brain using small, flat metal discs (electrodes) attached to your scalp
EOG: Electrooculography: a technique for measuring the corneo-retinal standing potential that exists between the front and the back of the human eye. Primarily used for recording the movement of the eye.
1. Introduction
Monash Professional Writers [MPW] is a research and document production house located in Notting Hill, Melbourne. MPW undertakes both small and larger scale research projects as required, mainly in the educational, corporate and public sectors. The project on which this Report is based [ATS 1298: Analysis of Teaching & Learning] …show more content…
Delving into the feelings and actions of the subjects is the approach that was opted, as the previous reviews mentioned, did not investigate any aspect of it. There is a clear benefit in investigating on why students opt to study with music, and if their retention proves to be highly positive, then it can be used to aid further research.
The negative aspects on conducting subjective online surveys are that the results may not be as accurate as the participant has depicted. There may be an off-chance that the participant may have answered untruthfully on their quantitative or qualitative answer, thus skewing results. The chance of withdrawing during the survey is also a weakness of the investigation, as tangible results can only be obtained via a completed …show more content…
The volume of such music being played also does not seem to correlate with the rate of retention. Conversely (Figure 8) however, can be related to the hypothesis as multi-tasking correlates with the overall ability of studying and listening to music. There was one interesting outlier however, that disproved the non-contributing factors. One individual listed that they had poor multi-tasking skills (score of 2 on the Likert scale), they felt less productive when listening to music and studying and retained only some of the information that was learnt (20-59%).
It is worth noting that in contrast to some other areas of the survey ALL participants responded to these key questions. The quantitative results indicate that most participants are retaining a large amount of the information they’ve studied with the inclusion of music, although distracted at times either through sheer enjoyment of the instrumentals or vocals. Conversely the student’s productivity being enhanced through music is split in a 50-50 manner. A similar assessment can be reasonably drawn from analysis of the qualitative data also obtained in the
