of Psychological & Brain Sciences have found that this popular study habit is more distracting than beneficial. 3. "Multitasking is a fallacy; human beings are not capable of truly multitasking because attention is a limited resource, and you can only focus on so much without a cost”, cognitive psychologist Brian Anderson said. "So when you’re doing two things at the same time, like studying and listening to music, and one of the things requires cognitive effort, there will be a cost to how much information you can retain doing both activities.” 4. In basic terms of memory, Anderson explained that we do a better job of recalling information in the same conditions in which we learn the material. So when studying for an exam, it's best to mimic the exam conditions. Steven Smith, cognitive neuroscientist for the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences, said, "Some people need a study place that is boring, predictable, and exactly the same so that they can concentrate, and others find it more beneficial to go to different places to study. It's true that there are different personalities, so try and find what study habit works best for you.” (Adapted from https://liberalarts.tamu.edu/) Question 23: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a study habit among students during exam season?
