“…Unfortunately, the only stress-related parameter that was influenced by nature sound (i.e., cortisol recovery, not its reactivity or the other biomarkers) was not logically correlated with the diet variables. Also in contrast with our hypothesis, comforting sounds might not lead to less stress-induced comfort food eating but rather to more comfort food eating due to this comfort-congruent situational factor (Mathiesen, Moula-Stahli, et al, 2022). For some of the other mentioned potential mechanisms underlying sound-induced eating behavior, the evidence level is still rather low.…”

“…Since the same wind sound was also mixed into the bird and water sounds, the current study is rather showing the additional benefit of bird and water sounds above that of wind sounds. In selecting the control, an active control was preferred since total silence might be more influential on stress (Shu & Ma, 2020) and meal duration (Mathiesen et al, 2022) than ambient noise due to non-distraction from the experienced stress or due to boredom, although beneficial effects of nature sound versus silence have sometimes been found (Largo-Wight et al, 2016). Based on a systematic review, the health and stress effects of nature sounds seemed smaller in studies using silence as a control instead of noise (Buxton et al, 2021).…”

This lab-based study tested whether nature sounds can lead to less stress reactivity, better stress recovery, less stress-induced eating and healthy food choice stimulation, while differentiating between bird and water sounds. Before (5 min) and after (8 min) the Trier Social Stress Test, 59 participants (47% men, 18–30 years) were exposed to one of three soundtracks: birds, streaming water, or wind as control. Group differences were tested on negative affect, salivary cortisol, heart rate variability, hunger, food craving, snack intake and influence expectations. Both bird and water sounds led to better cortisol recovery (not reactivity) and were reported to be more stress-reducing than wind only. The recovery effect was highest for water sounds. No differential sound effects were found for the food variables. The results confirm the potential implementation of bird and water sounds for stress restoration but future research should test the effects (especially on diet) in real-life settings.

“…There are two different types of sounds used. Music, which is known to influence human emotions (Russell, 2003), and silence, which was previously used in other experiments to examine how different sound environments affect meal times, food intake, as well as responses to sonic dining environments (Mathiesen et al, 2022).…”

Teachers have long been using mobile devices to support their personal learning. Especially during the COVID-pandemic, the professionalization of teachers demanded the use of mobile solutions, which requires them to apply self-regulated learning strategies. This article focuses on mobile self-regulated professional learning of Flemish teachers in primary education. The study examined (1) which profiles in self-regulated learning can be distinguished in a mobile learning environment and (2) whether there is a correlation between mobile self-regulated learning and the willingness to call on mobile learning. An explorative study was conducted by interviewing primary teachers (N=141) by means of an online survey. An explorative factor analysis confirmed that there are ten latent factors, which clustered around eight components (1) self-efficacy, (2) help seeking, (3) task appreciation, (4) goal-setting, (5) selfreflection, (6) strategical planning, (7) concretization and (8) metacognitive strategies. When comparing the subscales to age, a significant positive correlation was found with metacognitive strategies and strategical planning, indicating that older teachers utilized these self-regulatory strategies more than younger participants. In sequence, a latent cluster analysis identified two profiles in mobile self-regulated learning, namely a moderate and high profile in self-regulated learning. Furthermore, a bivariate test with Pearson correlation coefficient confirmed that there is a positive correlation between the overall score of mobile self-regulated learning of teachers and the degree to which they are willing to use mobile learning for their professional learning. More specifically, a correlation was found with the self-regulated learning skills: metacognitive learning strategies, self-reflection, concretization, and goal-setting.

“…Two types of sound will be used for this research, which are music that is known for its effect on human emotions [11], and silence which was used in an experiment designed to see how diverse sound environments affect meal time, food intake, and evaluations, as well as responses to the sonic eating environment [27].…”

In many educational settings today, students have been found to lack the concentration and motivation to learn the content in the classroom. This reduces and disrupts the efficiency of their learning process. Humans have limitations in the amount of information that they can process at one time. Sound is used in many platforms, mostly in music, movies, and television, to affect human perceptions and moods. Sound plays a huge influential part in how humans interact with the world. The purpose of this research is to study how sound can be used to influence the teaching and learning environment and to enhance their concentration and motivation to learn. A conceptual framework will be designed to aid and guide the understanding of the relationship between sound and cognitive improvements.
