A cognitive psychologist conducted an investigation into whether background auditory environments affect problem-solving success. Participants were given a complex spatial puzzle to complete within a 5-minute time limit. One group worked in a room with ambient lo-fi music playing, while the second group worked in complete silence. The researcher recorded whether each participant successfully solved the puzzle within the time limit or failed to complete it.
| Ambient Lo-Fi Music | Complete Silence | |
|---|---|---|
| Solved within time limit | 15 | 9 |
| Did not solve within time limit | 5 | 11 |
