Even though it may be beneficial for a novice (especially with getting a feel of the strings and the instrument) and help build finger strength, it's easy to develop bad habits that way (poor fingering, for example). It's like studying while watching a movie. Practice must be meaningful and free of distractions. Pay attention to what you play.
