A new study may make you think twice about listening to music in your car.
In fact, according to the University of Wales researchers listening to music affects a person’s ability to think straight.
The study found people become distracted from the task at hand – making it more difficult to learn or remember things.
However, the researchers also found their study does not negate findings from a previous one that showed music by Mozart could increase concentration.
They also said listening to music before a task may actually increase performance.
