Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hi,

My scientific method's question is: How is concentration affected when people of different age groups are exposed to audio distractions in a test and why?

I want to know what to put in my background info. These are the ideas that i made up, but i don't know what to about them:

-Short-term memory
-Memory loss
-And I also need more topics for the info. If you can think of any, thanks!

My other question is if i phrase my scientific method question like that, what should i put in the results??

Dear Ceal,

I have a question. What is the difference between mental concentration and concentration?

Well, concentration also applies to materials and possibly other pieces of data, so, an adjective might be helpful I think, to be more clear.

Does that make sense?
