研究发现：边听音乐边工作阻碍创造力

参与者要么在一个安静的房间里完成任务，要么一边做题一边听三种不同类型的音乐：歌词不熟悉的音乐、器乐演奏或歌词熟悉的音乐。

"We found strong evidence of impaired performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions,” says co-author Dr. Neil McLatchie of Lancaster University.

这项研究的合著者、兰卡斯特大学的尼尔·麦克拉奇博士表示：“我们发现了强有力的证据来证明这一事实：与安静的背景条件相比，播放背景音乐会使人们的表现受到不利的影响。”

Dr. McLatchie and his colleagues theorize that music interferes with the verbal working memory processes of the brain, hindering creativity. Also, as far as the library background noises having seemingly no effect, the study’s authors believe that was the case because library noises create a “steady state” environment that doesn’t disrupt concentration.

麦克拉奇博士和他的同事认为，音乐干扰了大脑的语言工作记忆过程，阻碍了创造力。至于为什么图书馆的背景噪音似乎没有影响，该研究的作者认为，这是因为图书馆噪音创造了一个“稳定状态”的环境，不会干扰注意力。

It’s worth mentioning that even familiar music with well known lyrics impaired participants’ creativity, regardless of whether or not it elicited a positive reaction, or whether participants typically studied or created while listening to music.
