The sounds are in our daily lives and interferes a lot in our daily activities and our
behavior. They can give us positive or negative effects due to their physical qualities
and the context in which we operate. According to the World Health Organization, the
urban noise is the main source of damage to hearing of world's population and can
interfere in very important practices for execution of activities involving an effort of
attention, such as when reading a book or even in the process of learning. The objective
of this study was to quantify the influence of three soundscapes in performing a
cognitive activity. Then we proposed an experiment in which participants were
submitted to a sound environment, here classified as urban, rural or silent while
performing a memory test of symbols. The results showed that the effects of urban and
rural sounds do not influence positively or negatively significantly the performance of
students in this type of task in comparison to silent soundscape. However, it still needs
further long-term studies to assess the possible cognitive effects of exposure to these
soundscapes. |
