HOW DOES BACKGROUND NOISE AFFECT THE MEMORY PROCESSES:

Thank you for your attention!

Chatty neighbors, noisy children, dog barking, hustle and bustle of the city...

POSITIVELY OR NEGATIVELY?

1. Stable background noise (the upper limit of volume is 50-55 dB) does not harm the learning and may even facilitate better memorization.

2. Due to lack of concentration, background noise can distract and impair the perception of information.

3. Sharp and loud sounds have a negative effect on memory processes, scattering the attention of students.

Memory

Noisli: background noise generator for working and relaxing

Memory is the faculty of the brain by which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved when needed.

...and you are trying to learn something. Is this situation familiar to you? Of course, you are sure that your efficiency of memorization tends to zero. But what if you are wrong and background noise can even facilitate better memorization.

Let’s check it out!

Don't even worry about it:)

The concept of background noise includes noise in public places, people’s voices, natural sounds, etc.

This phenomenon is associated with the physiological basis of attention, which is critical in memorizing, namely with Ukhtomsky's dominance principle.
