# Audio Inculcation and Learning

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-11-15)

Suppose I have an audio file of a lecture of a professor explaining something to be learned - a physics concept for example, and I listen to the audio file over and over again, much like how people listen to music while working.

How effective is audio inculcation - listening to an audio file over and over again, even though I'm doing something else and not actively listening to the audio - for learning? How does this affect the subconscious?

Can this tactic be used to change behavior: For example, recording a voice of saying "Do not go on Facebook. Facebook is bad.," and listening it to it over and over again, much like one would do with music.

**Tags:** learning, educational-psychology, conditioning
