But some parents disagree, saying: ―Switch off the music and concentrate!‖ Well, if that’s the case with your parents, you might now be able to convince them that you have science on your side. A new study, conducted by British pany Mindlab International, has found that listening to music at work increases accuracy(準(zhǔn)確性 ) and speed, the Telegraph reported. The pany gave 26 participants a series of different tasks for five days in a row, including spell checking, equation (方程式 ) solving, and mathematical word problems. The participants pleted these tasks while listening to one of four music genres (類型 ), or no music at all. The results showed that while music was playing, 88 percent of participants produced their most accurate test results and 81 percent pleted their fastest work. ―The message is that music is a very powerful management tool to increase not only the efficiency of workforce but also your emotional state.‖ said David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International.
