Project Question: I'm doing a science project on how 3 different genres of music affect typing accuracy and typing speed. I'm having trouble coming up with a nice graph and data table. I'd also like to interview an expert on behavioral studies like the one I'm conducting, and it would be of help if you can answer some more questions as well.

Music and Typing Speed and Accuracy

Post by malena-e »

Hello,
Im doing a science project on how different genres of music affect accuracy and typing. I've researched how the brain works when it's multitasking and different types of memory that all humans have. For my science project, I need to interview an expert, and I was wondering if you can answer some questions I have. Thank you so much, it would be of great help if I can talk to someone who's skilled with behavioral studies.

I'm not a sociobiologist, but I'll see if I can't ask one to take a look at the thread. In the meantime, could you post the questions you would like answered?

Thank you so for replying.

First, I'd like to ask : Why is it more difficult to multitask?

How does the brain react to tasks that include multitasking?

I have some more, but if you can, can you answer these first so I can get a sense of what to ask?
