Abstract

In achieving good result academically, students' study habit is very important. Listening to music is one of the many study habits that are used by many students. This project is done in order to study if listening to classical music really helps students to study. The Mozart Effect is used as reference which imply that classical music will help to boost focus. Previous studies seldom give a clear answer whether or not listening to classical music really helps to boost focus during study. This study tests subject's attention by asking the subjects to solve two sets of questions while presenting them with two types of stimulus which are music condition and silent condition (no music). The attention is measured by observing the presence of evoked response potential (ERP) i.e. the Nl amplitude. From the averaged ERP, the presence of Nl is clear in some subject for either or both conditions. From the comparison between the two condition with the presence of Nl and questions scores obtained, the conclusion is that students perform exceptionally better during silent condition compared to music condition.
