| Abby Menendez How Distractions Affect Student Efficiency
Division: | Health Sciences | Category: | Junior | Region: | Peterborough | City: | Peterborough, ON | School: | Westmount Public School | Abstract: | This experiment examined how typical distractions (i.e., listening to music or TV) affect students’ efficiency on manual and mental tasks. I observed that students were less efficient when listening to the TV than with no distraction. A simple statistical test was used to support this conclusion. |
