An experiment was designed to test whether students’ learning is affected by background sound. Twenty-four students were randomly separated into three groups of eight. All students study a passage of text for 30 minutes.

\n

Group 1 study with music playing at a constant volume in the background. Group 2 study with recorded conversations playing in the background and group 3 study with no sound at all. After studying, all students take a multiple-choice test on the material.

\n

Their scores are given below:
