"In terms of [health-related] costs per user: tobacco-related health costs are over $800 per user, alcohol-related health costs are much lower at $165 per user, and cannabis-related health costs are the lowest at $20 per user." Why the dramatic discrepancy? Quite literally, alcohol is an intoxicant; cannabis is not.
I knew cannabis wasn't as bad for you as alcohol, however I din't know of the gap in money you pay for each. Alcohol is toxic to cells and organs and cause many deaths over the years.

As cannabis consumers become more experienced, they become more tolerant to some of the drug's physical effects. Users also learn to better self-regulate (or "titrate") their dosage to avoid any dysphoric symptoms such as paranoia. As a result, most experienced marijuana consumers describe the cannabis high as a pleasant experience that helps them to relax, socialize or unwind.
I think that it it interesting that as people use it they become more tolerant to the drug, and they can almost control the kind of experience they are going to have when they use it.

Of the dozens of cannabinoids in marijuana, only one—THC—is significantly psychoactive. Most active chemicals in the plant possess therapeutic properties but do not induce euphoria.

Opponents say that drone strikes create more terrorists than they kill. They contend that drone strikes kill large numbers of civilians, violate international law, lack sufficient congressional oversight, violate the sovereignty of other nations, and make the horrors of war appear as innocuous as a video game.
Good start to show the counter to my argument.
-
A meta-study of drone strikes concluded 8 to 17% of all people killed in drone strikes are civilians.

The mathematical model that best explained the similarities and differences between twins, the team reports in the journal Nature, includes genetic effects and environmental effects, as every other model does--but also what the scientists call the "maternal effect." This effect of the uterine environment accounts for 20 percent of the IQ similarities between twins and 5 percent of the similarities between other siblings, they calculate. "The effects of genes are correspondingly reduced," conclude the authors, to 34 percent rather than the 70 percent calculated from twins studies.

fraternal twins raised together are more similar than nontwin siblings raised together, even though nonidentical twins are no more alike genetically than other siblings.

Rising incomes and urbanization are driving a global dietary transition in which traditional diets are replaced by diets higher in refined sugars, refined fats, oils and meats. By 2050 these dietary trends, if unchecked, would be a major contributor to an estimated 80 per cent increase in global agricultural greenhouse gas emissions from food production and to global land clearing.

That’s the old model. In the new era, a coach could offer a recruit a salary instead of a scholarship. Does a $100,000 salary give the student-athlete a better deal than the $65,000 scholarship? The $100,000 salary is impressive. A future Heisman Trophy winner might command more, but $100,000 is not bad for an 18-year-old high school recruit. But since it’s a salary, not a scholarship, it is subject to federal and state income taxes. Tuition and college expenses would not be deductible because the income level surpasses the IRS eligibility limit.
Interesting idea but would end up being similar to a scholarship due to taxes.

"A vegan riding a Hummer contributes less to greenhouse gas emissions than a meat eater riding a bicycle," he says.
i like this quote
-
The Balancing Act, concluded that replacing meat with pasta and beans would have the biggest effect on reducing a person's carbon footprint. Australia's meat-products industry accounts for 91 megatonnes of greenhouse gas emissions a year, according to the report. This compares with the 80.4 megatonnes attributable to the nation's transport industry. A vegan diet can dramatically reduce a person's carbon footprint, but can it also erode the nutrients our bodies need to stay healthy? "If you have followed a vegan diet all your life, there is some evidence that your body seems to be able to change the amount it wants to absorb out of food," says Aloysa Hourigan, senior nutritionist at Nutrition Australia. "But it is difficult if a large meat-eater switches to a vegan diet." The main problem seems to be our bodies' ability to extract adequate amounts of vitamin B12, which makes red blood cells, and minerals such as iron, calcium and zinc, from plant-based foods. "Vegans need to eat a wide range of foods.
although this is evidence in Australia, it effects the whole world

Animal cruelty in the meat, dairy and egg industries remains the prime motivation for many vegans.

lobbying provides a forum for the resolution of conflicts among often diverse and competing points of view; provides information, analysis, and opinion to legislators and government leaders to allow for informed and balanced decision making; and creates a system of checks and balances that allows for competition among interest groups, keeping any one group from attaining a permanent position of power. Lobbyists can help the legislative process work more effectively by providing lawmakers with reliable data and accurate assessments of a bill’s effect.

Try to make yourself invaluable before you have children.

I might take a less demanding job if it gives me more time with my children in exchange for a lower wage. Or, in anticipation of having children, I might get less college education because why get it if I'm going to stay home with the kids?
while this is true it doesnt explain the pay gap between their male counterparts. They are justifying why women take lower paying jobs but not explaining why women get paid less than men who work the same jobs
-
s this a result of discrimination, that women with children are sort of viewed in a different light, given less favorable assignments, just for whatever reason that employers say, well, you're just not getting that check. Or is it a self-selection process that, once women have children or women who want to have children self-select and put themselves into less remunerative jobs?
Questioning if it is subconscious if women put themselves in the position to make less money than their male counterparts or if it really is discrimination, conscious or subconscious.
-
Women who have children now earn 7 to 14 percent less than women who do not have children.
seems ironic that women with children make less since they are probably the ones that need more. Likely due to time off, maternity leave, and fear they will leave their job, so companies don't want to invest so much in women with children.

Students are given opportunities to plan and organize, monitor their own work, direct their own learning, and to self-reflect along the way. When we provide students with time and space to be aware of their own knowledge and their own thinking, student ownership increases. And research shows that metacognition can be taught.
Here we have a major controversy in the question of teaching. "Metacognition can be taught" is a statement with factual structure and opinionated reality. From all over the world, traditional-style teachers are rolling in their graves at this sentence, because "research shows" can mean anything, and there is plenty of "research" to the contrary, as well. Nonetheless, it ought to be considered, since in certain environments, self-direction may be the best medium.

Teachers need to frequently step offstage and facilitate entire class discussion. This allows students to learn from each other. It's also a great opportunity for teachers to formatively assess (through observation) how well students are grasping new content and concepts.
It seems nearly universal that "apartness" is harmful to the classroom environment. Instead, to open the class to discussion seems the best way to facilitate understanding of a topic. With this understanding, we can narrow our methodology down to include discussion on a classroom scale. Less popular, though still relevant, is the idea that one-on-one discussion promotes healthy learning, but this does not seem the article to tackle this issue.

From Godwins investigation he found that nearly ninety percent of victims were complete strangers to the killer and that only three percent were friends and one percent were that of family members (Fox 105).

"A psychokiller, I should make clear, is not a regular murderer. A murderer has a vendetta, a nice specific personal thing against his victim" (Corin 188). Unlike that of a normal homicide, serial killers are only driven by instinct and a desire to kill. Due to these sexual desires and the need to fulfill their arousing fantasies it often drives these individual to murder those who are complete strangers.
most of the time, serial killers aren't looking to kill. they are looking to fill their desires. they usually isn't a motive against the person that is being killed/raped. a murder has a vendetta (a personal thing agasint this one person. serial killers are only driven by insticnct and a desire to kill.

People who eat a plant-based diet live longer, have less cancer and heart disease, weigh less, and have healthier diets. They even have a lower carbon footprint. These were the impressive findings from the landmark study Adventist Health Study-2 (first announced at the International Congress of Vegetarian Nutrition at Loma Linda University,
the source to all this evidence

1. Weight. A progressive weight increase was seen from a vegan diet toward a non-vegetarian diet. “The average body mass index (BMI) for vegans was 23.6, lacto-ovo vegetarians 25.7, pesco-vegetarians 26.3, semi-vegetarians 27.3, and non-vegetarians 28.8,” said Fraser (Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, December 2013). BMI over 25 is overweight; over 30 is obese. 2. Cardiovascular disease. The same trend was observed for cardiovascular disease markers, such as levels of cholesterol, and incidence of high blood pressure and metabolic syndrome, with the vegan dietary pattern offering the lowest risk compared with non-vegetarian (Diabetes Care, 2012). 3. Type 2 Diabetes. Prevalence of type 2 diabetes among vegans (2.9 percent) and lacto-ovo vegetarians (3.2 percent) was half that of non-vegetarians (7.6 percent), reported Fraser, who also noted that the same trend prevailed in fasting blood glucose levels. 4. Inflammation. A similar trend, progressing from vegan to non-vegetarian, was observed for C-reactive protein, a measure of inflammation, which is considered a root of chronic disease. 5. Cancer. Fraser reported, “For overall cancer, all vegetarians (vegans plus lacto-ovo vegetarians) had an 8 percent reduction in risk, and vegans did best of all. For gastrointestinal cancers, vegetarians as a group had 24 percent reduction in risk, and in particular lacto-ovo vegetarians did the best. For respiratory system cancers, the vegetarian group had a 23 percent reduction in risk. In female cancers, vegans did the best in reduced risk.” 6. Longevity. “Death rates rise across the dietary groups, from vegans to non-vegetarians,” said Fraser. There was a 12 percent reduction in risk of all-cause mortality in all vegetarians combined versus non-vegetarians, with a reduction in risk of 15 percent in vegans compared with non-vegetarians, nine percent in lacto-ovo vegetarians, 19 percent in pesco-vegetarians, and eight percent in semi-vegetarians (JAMA Intern Med, 2013).Carbon footprint. Vegetarian diets are also more sustainable, according to Joan Sabate, MD, DrPh, Chair of Nutrition at Loma Linda University. According to a life cycle assessment applied to the AHS-2 data, Sabate reported that the greenhouse gas emissions for a vegan diet are 41.7 percent lower compared with non-vegetarians; lacto-ovo vegetarians are 27.8 percent lower, pescatarians are 23.8 percent lower, and semivegetarians are almost 20 percent lower. 7. Healthy behaviors. Compared to non-vegetarians, vegans and vegetarians watch less television, sleep more, and consume more fruits, vegetables, and low-glycemic foods and less saturated fat.
Some of the many things veganism can benefit
-
As the scientists began to compare the health outcomes of the various diet patterns in AHS-2, they saw something intriguing. For many health outcomes, a progressively beneficial relationship was observed between the dietary patterns, with vegan providing the best benefit compared with non-vegetarian, followed by lacto-ovo vegetarian, pesco-vegetarian, and semi-vegetarian.
In a study there is proof that veganism is better for your health

Using technology is another path to educate well that I had not previously considered. "Fun" learning seems to be an important part of contemporary pedagogy, and it will be interesting to see whether this pays off. It does not seem that there is currently a way to quantify the difference between fun learning and traditional learning aside from standardized test score, which will be established later as an inadequate means for measurement.

Education is a long-term process. While technology has quickened the process and has been reaching out to more learners through machines, it cannot redefine the basic approach required to meet the needs of children who fail to understand the academic concepts. It is only by adopting a seamless blend of the efficiency of the digital medium with the penetrative and focused tutor-assisted learning methods that one can create an impact on the way education is consumed. The current crop of ed-tech firms is all set to garner the interest of masses wherein the focus will be on both the online and offline assisted learning.
Technology is currently being used as a medium for quickening the pace of traditional pedagogy, rather than pioneering new pedagogy in a contemporary landscape. It is worth noting that "tutor-assisted learning methods" are gaining popularity, since these are typically expensive and reserved for those with expendable income. Tutoring becoming cheaper and more accessible could be a big factor in finding the best way to teach, since tutoring is typically supplemental, rather than intrinsic.

While progressivists and traditionalists may seem to be at odds, there are many educators who believe that schools need to incorporate both kinds of instructional methods. Traditionalist instruction in basic skills in the early grades, they argue, should lay the groundwork for the more complex and less rigidly structured learning that older students need. Moreover, disciplined learning of facts can be combined with activities that foster knowledge integration and insightful thinking. "These two traditions represent the best we know about teaching and learning," states David B. Ackerman, CEO of The Learning Navigator, which provides multifaceted support for learners. In the most outstanding schools, he argues, "both the progressive and the traditional strands intertwine, reinforcing and amplifying one another."
One way to broaden the best way to teach, rather than inversely narrow the demographic for whom you are teaching, is to incorporate multiple methods into a singular style. Some, like David Ackerman, see the traditional and the modern methods working with each other, but none of this seems to have concrete factual basis.
-
Critics of traditional methods, however, maintain that back-to-basics teaching imposes an impersonal, one-size-fits-all learning style on students. Many teachers argue that while rote memorization and multiple-choice testing may teach students what to think, they do not teach them how to think. Progressive teaching methods, on the other hand, incorporate personalized instruction group activities, hands-on learning, and experience-based knowledge to develop students' capacity for astute, probing thought. According to school administrator Deborah Meier, progressive techniques result in critical thinkers who ask: How do we know what we think we know? What's our evidence? How credible is it?Whose viewpoint are we hearing, reading, seeing? What other viewpoints might there be if we changed our position?How is one thing connected to another? Is there a pattern here?How else might it have been? What if? Supposing that?What difference does it make? Who cares?
Seems to establish that singular viewpoints in how to teach are irrelevant. Each student has a different "best way" to learn, and therefore the absolute best way to teach cannot be pinpointed. In order to find the answer to this question, then, the demographic must be narrowed.

the twin who was lighter at birth had a more adverse metabolic profile in adulthood compared to its genetically identical co-twin, who was heavier at birth [6, 7, 8, 9, 10].

The child's ordinal position in the family has its most important influence on receptivity to accepting or rejecting the requests and ideas of legitimate authority.

“Imbalanced diets, such as diets low in fruits and vegetables and high in red and processed meat, are responsible for the greatest health burden globally and in most regions,” he said. “At the same time, the food system is responsible [currently] for more than a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions, and therefore a major driver of climate change.”
This is true and it would not only help the earth but also our health.
-
In three decades, emissions related to agriculture and food production are likely to account for about half of the world’s available “carbon budget” - the limited amount of carbon dioxide and its equivalents that can be poured into the atmosphere if we are to hold global warming to no more than 2C.
This is crazy! The fact that meat and food production could use so much and reducing it is so easy to do if we just do it.

“my popularity seems almost entirely a masculine phenomenon.”
Marilyn admitted that the foundation of her popularity was from the values of men and how they saw her.
-
Marilyn was objectified, depersonalized and ridiculed. Few women stood up for her, it was too personally threatening.
This is true. If the other women in the industry wanted to stand up for their rights they feared being moved down a position or even fired from set. They couldn't do anything without jeopardizing their own jobs.
-
Marilyn Monroe personifies many conflict-ridden parts for women, particularly women of her generation. She was too frail, too funny, too sexual, too much of everything, and it was reflected on the big screen. Marilyn was too much of a reminder of just how much of female sexuality and identity was reliant on men and on male sexuality
For that time period this sentence applies well.

These differing chemical tags may help explain why identical twins look slightly different, have their own personalities and may have different susceptibility to diseases
-
actors in the womb influencing fetus growth, such as size of the umbilical cord, may also create epigenetic discrepancies between twins. Identical twins sharing a placenta were more epigenetically different than twins who had their own;
-
So identical twins, which result when a single embryo splits, start out with the same epigenetic profile. Fraternal twins, the product of separate fertilization events, begin with slightly different epigenetic patterns, Petronis says.

Teachers, meanwhile, fretted that the scheme's roll-out would mean job losses. Angus MacLennan, e-Sgoil's head, says such fears are unfounded, since the scheme provides teleteachers only where it has proved impossible to recruit a permanent one
NEGATIVE If more kids are taking online courses than potential teachers are losing jobs and would be less likely to have people entering the schooling field.
-
Schools across Britain struggle to recruit teachers, but the problem is especially acute in remote parts, and there are few places so remote as the Scottish islands. Founded in 2015 by the local council representing the Outer Hebrides, e-Sgoil (which means "e-School" in Gaelic) attempts to get round this problem by beaming teachers into classrooms via internet video link. Teleteaching allows tiny, distant schools to broaden the choice of subjects on their curriculums while reducing bills for the flights, ferries and hotels of itinerant supply teachers.

Fathers of daughters used more analytical language (e.g., words such as all, below and much), which has been linked to future academic success.
This positively influenced the way girls performed. Does achievement related language have a negative impact, or does it still lead to success?
-
Other research has found that restricted emotions in adult men is linked to depression, decreased social intimacy, marital dissatisfaction and a lower likelihood of seeking mental health treatment.
Sons may suffer more consequences than daughters when it comes to the different ways children are treated.
-
If fathers are more present and attentive to daughters and open to expressing emotions, that may help girls develop more empathy than boys, so fathers of sons could take the same approach as fathers of daughters
The way parents interact with their children highly impacts the behaviors people develop. It could be useful to integrate the way parents treat their sons and daughters.

Identical twins are born from a single fertilised egg, or zygote. Genetically speaking, therefore, they are indeed the same.
-
They uncovered a significant amount of variation between twins, possibly enough to explain why apparently heritable diseases that require the coincidence of several genetic risk-factors do not, in practice, always appear in both twins.
-
The results suggest that although monozygotic twins do differ epigenetically, they differ less than dizygotic twins.
this is the center of what I have studied for my research paper, and I find it to be very true

That some methylation escapes pre-fertilisation erasure has been suggested by experiments on other animals, but this has been thought the exception, rather than the rule.

"If, in this group of genes, the epigenetic markers are established before the embryo splits into two, then the markers will be the same in both twins," Waterland said. "In essence, both twins inherit an intimate molecular memory of their shared developmental legacy as a single individual. On the other hand, genes at which epigenetic markers are set after the embryo splits can have greater epigenetic differences between the two twins."
This is very interesting as it summarizes the ability to separate nurture versus nature by analyzing twins

Faculty often remark that the most discouraging aspect of teaching is encountering a student who just does not seem to care, who has to be cajoled into thinking about the reading, who is obviously bored in class, or who resists rewriting a paper that is passable but not very good. Such students are failing to take full advantage of the educational opportunities that these colleges and universities are there to provide.
This is one of the main issues in this debate. The players that would most likely be paid are those that are only at the university for 1 year. Because of this, there isn't much education to be had. Even if they were highly focused in the classroom, the classes freshman take are only prerequisite's.

If the motivation of zoo owners was truly to inspire passion for conservation then, with a little imagination, they could begin to lead the way out of this archaic practice and towards a learning experience which was both valuable and, most importantly, free of suffering.
While zoos aren't exactly the ideal way to inspire conservation, if zoo owners were to have the mindset that they do have the ability to inspire, then zoos could be valuable tools to educate the public on conservation
-
I can say with great confidence that a zoo enclosure can never be a proper substitute for an animal's natural habitat.
while zoos might seem like a good way to solve the issue of decreasing habitats, they will never truly be an identical way to their natural habitat, which they are accustomed to living in.
-
I think the overriding point here is that, even if they did inspire a passion for conservation, the end does not justify the means.
It isn't fair to animals that, in order to inspire people to take action on behalf of conservation, we have to keep animals in captivity their entire lives rather than living in their natural habitats
-
Many of the smaller zoos are exempt from the licensing standards and thus, are not subject to inspections. For the larger zoos, they are inspected once a year (at best) or once every three years (as a minimum). The inspection is carried out over a maximum of two working days and might have to assess hundreds or even thousands of animals. When you bear in mind that the inspectors also need to review record keeping, health and safety, procedures, education and conservation contribution in the allotted time, it becomes clear that, even with the best of intentions, the system is simply unworkable.
The system in place to make sure that the standards set in place to protect animals isn't effective and hardly does anything to help protect animals
-
I agree that there are "worse zoos" but I do not believe that there is such thing as a "good zoo".
Not all zoos are completely horrible, but no zoo (as stated above) is a "proper substitute for an animal's natural habitat"
-
Worryingly, zoos teach children that humans can control nature. They demonstrate that if an irreplaceable natural habitat is destroyed by our actions, we can pluck individual animals out of the destruction, manipulate their breeding cycle and produce more of them to live in city centre zoos or safari parks thereby "saving" the species
Zoos prevent the public from the realization that humans can't just do whatever they want and then save the animals who are endangered as a result of their actions. Instead it makes us think that regardless of how small habitats get, we can just "pluck" animals out and put them in captivity.
-
What it fails to demonstrate to the child [is] the urgency of the need for habitat conservation, or the complexity of the role of the tiger in its natural habitat, or the ways in which that child could aid the conservation of the species in reality.
Zoos could be much more effective if they were to help demonstrate why this animal was in captivity, how people can help with habitat conservation, or even demonstrate the vital role animals play in their ecosystems
-
By showing a tiger in a cage to a child, a zoo can teach that child nothing more than the size of a tiger, the colour of a tiger and the shape of a tiger. A zoo shows the animal completely out of context, outside of its natural habitat and the ecosystem it was designed to inhabit.
While zoos enable people to see animals that they otherwise wouldn't be able to see in their day to day lives, prevent people from learning how animals act in their natural habitats and what behaviors they have

Educational technology developers and manufacturers have created software, hardware, and curriculums to improve services for students with learning and physical disabilities. Such developments are generally referred to as Assistive Technology (AT). Text-to-speech (TTS) software allows students with vision difficulties to listen to a text rather than read it. TTS readers can also benefit students whose learning disabilities give them difficulty with reading, such as students with dyslexia.
POSITIVE Technology has made remarkable advancements in being able to aid those who suffer from learning disabilities. It provides an opportunity, for those who were set behind to, be able to continue their educational experience.

Critics of online learning argue that the students receive neither the personalized learning experience nor the socialization benefits of attending a school in person. Further criticisms have been leveled against the online for-profit universities for engaging in questionable business practices, including misleading applicants about the quality of the education they provide.

NEGATIVE Online schooling takes away from the social benefits of attending school. Online courses provide usually one way of learning which differs between kids and may hinder their ability to get over obstacles in their education.

STATISTICS Showing how prevalent computers are becoming in the modern day classrooms since 1970's.
-
Education professionals argue that the use of computers and other technologies increases the amount of information students will retain from a lesson because the student is more likely to be engaged in participatory learning than passive learning.
POSITIVE/NEGATIVE It is dependent upon the schooling district, as well as teachers to whether or not they want to incorporate technology into their classrooms. It is also a matter of budget distribution between certain curriculums on whether or not they would be able to use technology.
-
They warn that technology must be applied thoughtfully to maximize its benefits and minimize its potential for disruption and distraction. Social justice activists have also voiced concern that technology can widen the education gap between the rich and poor by creating a digital divide that provides a head start to students from affluent communities who experience greater access and receive better training with regard to technology than students without those opportunities.
NEGATIVE Not everyone is able to have access to the internet, which sets specific groups of people behind others unintentionally because they do not have the luxury of technology incorporated into the classroom. Learning gap.
-
Personal computing allows students to engage with learning material in ways distinct from those available to previous generations. Learning tools, online resources, and assistive technologies have the potential to stoke creativity, increase retention, and reduce unnecessary obstacles to learning.
POSITIVE This shows some encouraging ways in why technology has even made an appearance in education and why it is considered as a viable option to learning.

Facts and Statistics Anxiety disorders are the most common psychiatric illnesses affecting children and adults. An estimated 44 million American adults suffer from anxiety disorders. Only about one-third of those suffering from an anxiety disorder receive treatment, even though the disorders are highly treatable. Find more facts about anxiety disorders.
Facts and statistics will be key to this research essay because they will bring things into perspective and reality. To know that in America alone, 44 million people suffer from anxiety disorders. To know that these disorders are the most common psychiatric illness affecting children and adults is important to know about our society. Clicking the link provided will be a great source of information.

Anxiety disorders are real, serious medical conditions - just as real and serious as physical disorders such as heart disease or diabetes. Anxiety disorders are the most common and pervasive mental disorders in the United States. The term "anxiety disorder" refers to specific psychiatric disorders that involve extreme fear or worry, and includes generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder and panic attacks, agoraphobia, social anxiety disorder, selective mutism, separation anxiety, and specific phobias. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are closely related to anxiety disorders, which some may experience at the same time as depression. What is Anxiety? (from ADAA's partner organization Anxiety.org) is an in-depth analysis and explanation of key anxiety disorders written by ADAA member experts.
Although everyone deals with occasional anxiety, there are serious conditions of anxiety that can lead to unfortunate circumstances. In this research paper, it would be important to define the different types of anxiety and explain how different all of them can be and how serious their effects are. To get a full image of anxiety, before researching and writing about it, would help to avoid little mistakes and misunderstandings about the medical condition.
-
It's a normal part of life to experience occasional anxiety.
It is important to define the subject of the research paper with clear definitions and examples. Anxiety has become much more prominent in today's society because of mental health. The reason this quote would be great in this article is because it is important to understand that now, just about everybody deals with occasional anxiety and it is not a disease or injury.

there are a couple of points that are important to know:
- The effect is extremely short-lived with the enhancement in spatial reasoning only lasting for 10-15 minutes.
- The improvement is restricted to a quite abstract mental rotation task that is only a small part of the question when assessing intelligence.
- Other studies were not able to replicate this finding.
This is interesting because this is the first time that someone has gone into the original study and analyzed it while comparing it to other studies, looking at the science of it, and the actual time frame that it works for.
These ideas are from the British Journal of Development and were written by P Mckelvie and J Law in 2002.

Participants underwent three learning sessions and were tested one week later. The results show that participants tend to perform better on the final test when they had listened to music while studying vocabulary. However, the author of that study acknowledges that not all participants seemed to have benefitted to the same extent from listening to background music during studying.
Another study that was performed that starts to look at the difference in listening to music while studying and the difference from person to person.
From the book Language Learning by AMB de Groot in 2006.
-
One idea why listening to background music while studying or performing a task may be potentially beneficial has been put forward by Schellenberg and colleagues (3) in their arousal-emotion/mood-activation hypothesis.
Music that puts you in a positive mood has a positive effect on your performance.
From the book Psychology of Music by EG Schellenberg, T Nakata, PG Hunter, and S Tamoto in 2007.
-
Your personality seems also to play a role on whether you will benefit at all from listening to your favourite tunes while studying.
I have seen before that it depends from person to person, however, this is the first time that I am reading that personality may be the cause for that... look up more on the relationship between music and personalities.
-
If you ask people in the general public about this effect, they will probably say something along the lines: Oh yes, listening to music by Mozart makes you smarter. However, this statement is not only completely false, but is also a misinterpretation of the Mozart Effect. The Mozart Effect is a brief enhancement of spatial-temporal abilities in college students after listening to a Mozart piano sonata.
Summary of the Mozart effect misunderstanding followed by a description of what the effect really is. Compare with some of the other definitions found to come up with a good one.
-
Does it make a difference at all what they are listening to while studying?
This is an important question to consider as people tend to think it doesn't and make a choice on the benefits of music based on that.

“As a species we are very highly attuned to reading social cues,” says Dr. Catherine Steiner-Adair, a clinical psychologist and author of The Big Disconnect. “There’s no question kids are missing out on very critical social skills. In a way, texting and online communicating—it’s not like it creates a nonverbal learning disability, but it puts everybody in a nonverbal disabled context, where body language, facial expression, and even the smallest kinds of vocal reactions are rendered invisible.”
