Because these barriers lead to communication breakdowns, patient safety is jeopardized, so changes that will permit patients to receive more time, attention, education and understanding of their conditions and their care will help alleviate these obstacles.

Lynn Waterhouse's article summarizes evidence for three cognitive theories, one including the "Mozart Effect" theory. Since I was doing this project about the Mozart Effect, I figured I'll pay more attention on the passage concentrating more on MI. In the review, it discusses the history of the method as well as evidence showing how effective this is. It also talks about the Mozart Effect as an arousal tool, that Mozart music creates excitement.
