Cognitive Techniques to Study Better

[Sforza]

On a side note, I cannot study while listening to music. I end up listening to the music instead of paying attention to what I'm doing. I've heard/read tons of anecdotes on people who can, however.

I study with music on all the time. Usually classical, progressive rock or ambient. No lyrics. However, I can listen to Japanese or Mandarin too without getting too distracted. I find English and Filipino to be distracting though.
