  • . Listening to Mozart has been shown to have no effect on working memory performance
  • therefore misleading to understand the Mozart effect
  • The effect is likely to be due to arousal or mood, not changes in cognition

  • these researchers believed that memory was improved because music and spatial abilities shared the same pathways in the brain.
  • laboratories have tried to use the music of Mozart to improve memory, but have failed.
  • original work on the Mozart Effect was flawed because: only a few students were tested it was possible that listening to Mozart really did not improve memory. Rather, it was possible that the relaxation test and silence IMPAIRED memory

  • another attempt to demonstrate the Mozart Effect
  • unable to show that listening to the music of Mozart had any effect on spatial-reasoning performance. They conclude by stating: "...there is little evidence to support basing intellectual intervention on the existence of the Mozart effect."
  • monkeys listened to Mozart piano music for 15 minutes before they had to do a memory test. The researchers found that listening to Mozart music did NOT improve the monkeys' performance compared to when the monkeys listened to rhythms or white noise. They also found that listening to Mozart during the test impaired memory and while white noise during the test improved memory slightly.

  • There have been no studies that have looked at the effects of music on the intelligence of babies.
  • , there is no evidence that music enhances memory permanently.
