Music while studying

Do you even need proof? You just need logic.

More than one sensory input means your attention is being split.

Yeah, this

Even if you're not using the same senses, your brain notices these things and you won't be as productive as studying in silence.

Sometimes I can only get into a "study mode" by starting off with some nice music, but whatever rituals you do in order to get yourself into that mindset are independent of where your concentration goes while actually studying.

Imagine being such a STEMcuck that you think you can interpret human action in such a logically reductive way. And I say that as a mathcuck.

if dividing your attention isn't a problem in your work, then maybe you're not working hard enough

I'm no STEMcuck, I studied arts, animation specifically.

In Richard Williams' book "The Animator's Survival Kit", which is pretty much an animation bible, he recalls how he asked animation legend Milt Kahl what he listens to while working, and pic related was his response.

Even if you're listening to music you're overly familiar with, you're still splitting your attention. You'd be better off with white noise. Animation takes fucking forever, and if you're not concentrating fully you'll only slow yourself down, which is costly.

This is why I mostly listen to noise or very minimal ambient

It gives you a background with very few sound structures to pay attention to

The world is so small.

There's literally nothing wrong with listening to music while studying. However most people are distracted by vocal music, so you should consider limiting your playlist to instrumental music.

This has to be the choice of Steins Gate.
