is listening to music good while studying

Well, Pro has forfeited once again. I will simply copy my previous arguments, and will give her a chance to make her case next round. ________________________________________________________________________________________Point of Clarification:Music, since it is not specified, can be any type or genre. This means that if I prove that any form of music is beneficial, I have effectively supported the resolution and proved my argument.Arguments:{1} Study by the University of DaytonThis study, according to their summary, was performed in order to determine the effect of music on the cognitive and spatial processing of students. To summarize, fifty-six males and females were chosen, and were each subject to test while excerpts from Classical Mozart.The results showed that background music - like the compositions of Mozart- in fact increase the speed of spatial processing, and the accuracy of linguistic processing.Thus, as the article/report shows, and as explained above, Classical music are beneficial while taking a series of cognitive test, and thus improve one"s neurological abilities when subject to the music.{2} Article by University of PhoenixThe linked article was written by Robert Pela about listening to music while studying. He mentions other articles and scientific studies in the article, then continues by adding some information that was discovered. Studies show that listening to classical music- called the "Mozart-Effect"- stimulates brain activity, and "provides short-term enhancement of mental tasks- including memorization- known as "spatial-temporal reasoning.""Personal Anecdote: While studying and working for a long time, I listened to a long track of Beethoven music {3}. This classical music was very nice, and helped me be relaxed while working. I not only listen to that, but I also have a long playlist of music that I listen to. All this music is very effective in the background. Thus, from personal experience, I can say that listening to music helps one work better.{P4} The studies by Dr. Emma GrayThe article linked below summarized studies conducted by a Doctor/Researcher, Emma Gray, who studied the effect of music on people.Her studies could be summarized by the following results:Students who studied mathematics listened to classical music. Their scores were an average of 12% higher than those not listening to music. This performance was attributed to the fact that, "Research found that in order to stimulate learning and enhance concentration, {students listened to classical music."The article continues with more very-telling information:"The right side of the brain is used to process original, creative thoughts, so Gray suggests English, Drama or Art students listen to emotive rock and pop music."""The left side of the brain is used to process factual information and solve problems, which are key skills in these topics,"" says Dr. Emma GrayResolution- SupportedI have showed multiple arguments and examples of why it is, and have linked sources for further study. Most of the sources say that listening to classical music is indeed beneficial, thus proving that listening music is good while studying.I have provided multiple studies throughout the entire debate showing that different types of music enhance the brain's functions, and certain types of music help the student study specific subjects.Thank you.- Shadow-Dragon -{1} http://www.amsciepub.com......;{2} http://www.phoenix.edu......{3} https://www.youtube.com......{4} http://metro.co.uk...
