Should You Listen to Music While Studying, The Pi Model and More w/ Dr. Barb Oakley

A brief interview I did with Dr. Barbara Oakley. Dr. Oakley created the most popular MOOC (Massively Open Online Course) of all time, Learning How to Learn. She is the author of A Mind for Numbers and, more recently, Mindshift.

I find music without vocals to be effective

[@Jay-vz7og]

@OneManArmy Yeah, me too. Works great with solving math problems. Too many people in my home making random noises, music without lyrics helps blocks it out.

[@Adam-cn5ib]

all great and nerdy youtubers and public figures in one youtube video, yippey!

[@Youssef-dm3ce]

Thanks to Coursera "Learning How to Learn: Powerful mental tools to help you master tough subjects" It has brought me here to find out more about A Mind for Numbers. Found this interview and its awesome! Thanks!

[@abbysands9510]

It is amazing that someone like Dr Barb Oakley knows your work. I took a course of Dr Barb on Coursera and her course blew my mind.

[@wypimentel]

Wow she speaks with many Analogies :D it's like Feynman and your approach. We obviously know her, she is amazing.

[@FreeShikshaVideos]

Yes, Scott, we know her.. and yes, I came to know about you from her course.

Dr. Barbara Oakley, thank you very much for your deep insights. "The mind is a terrible thing to waste." --Great teacher.

[@cubetamagica]

I did found Scott's blog through Barbara Oakley's course. Awesome interview, very glad to see her again.

[@user-wk4cm7ij1q]

glad to know that you are still alive

[@cocoarecords]

loved her course~!

[@MrButt-oy4sh]

Thank you for your work! i aprecciate your efforts!!!

[@akshyaksh]

please keep making videos

[@谢安-k6t]

I also think videos are better than articles, easier to take in information.

[@谢安-k6t]

And unlike ad-free bolg, KZbin can profit.

[@TheLionEric]

Some people say its better to retain information if it takes more effort to learn it!

[@谢安-k6t]

That's true, but I believe it is the effort to process the information rather than dealing with language. A teacher who express the knowledge very unclearly can significantly increase the effort but obviously result in less information retained.

[@donblack1571]

Her book is amazing.

[@reeeeeeee-e2g]

i'm reading your book right now, ultra learning. i'm planning on reading her book next, as well as the atomic habits by james clear

[@739aa]

Excellent interview, Scott! Thanks for sharing

[@muskduh]

Thanks for the content.

[@jaelcadogan8805]

"A mind for numbers " am reading that right now

[@jaelcadogan8805]

@Jhonny yeah it was , actually I read it online KZbin here as an audio book, just search it up

[@jaelcadogan8805]

@Jhonny You are welcome , I will

[@adrianaleon2220]

Great video Scott!

[@shubhrantkhare9439]

thanks for nice talk

[@strictlycopy1858]

In my experience, it depends on the music. I find techno on a low level, or ADHD music (search KZbin), very helpful.

[@C4SSIOPEI4]

Studying with music doesn't work at all for me because I get involved with it and learning concentration flies away. In the other hand, boring or mechanic activities as text and web editing or even creative activities as drawing are improved by music for the exactly same reason - some part of my brain flies away and takes anxiety and other thoughts with it and so I can keep doing that activity for a long, long time without feeling bored or tired.

[@MohammedIbrahim-hk2bp]

I think u don't should listen to music to lyrics but if u want to listen u can try symphonic

[@MrJamesdryable]

I listen to classical.

[@BreydanTan]

long time ago for update your video

[@anteconfig5391]

I can't listen to music with lyrics or any type of vocals. It's really distracting. I try to listen to some sort of trance or electro music with low volume which really helps but if at any point it sounds like someone is trying to say something my brain automatically shifts my attention to try and figure out what is being said. Beethoven works good. even though that helps I find that after a while even that gets in the way. I could see why sometimes listening to music could get in the way while other times it's helpful. Some people are capable of doing more than one task simultaneously but those tasks that can be overlapped are different for everybody. I don't know if I'm explaining it good so to get a better understanding of what I'm trying to say listen to what Richard Feynman starts saying from 2 min and 20 seconds into this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZuXqmN7itGIY7s

[@tiktak3675]

😍

[@jintzie1950jth]

The pi model is a little like having a major and a minor in college. Time tested, proven value.

[@jintzie1950jth]

I'm five years late!

[@mgtowbooboo8530]

When will people treat men as well as they treat women?

[@treebleecast]

Hey Scott, I've sent you an email, facebook message, tweets, just trying to get in touch with you. If you could hit me back up it'd be much obliged. Thanks man
