Abstract
The proportion of correct responses for simple arithmetic problems was compared for the following noise conditions: quiet, speech, music, and industrial noise. Results show that is answered a significantly higher proportion correctly for the music condition than for the industrial noise condition. In all other conditions, the proportion of correctly answered responses was no different from one to another.Keywords
