Some investigators of the "Mozart effect" have not controlled for the
influence of differences in arousal or mood induced by treatment conditions. Studies
by Rideout and colleagues reported differences in spatial reasoning after listening to a
Moz... |
| Changes in Perceived Color with Intermittent Illumination |

Using 24 observers with normal color vision, perceived shifts in hue were determined for a yellow-red, green, and blue-green at intermittencies of 5, 10, and 20 cps. The hue shift for yellow-red was consistent with the hue shift exhibited by a deuter... |

The “Mozart effect” is an increase in spatial reasoning scores after listening
to a Mozart piano sonata. Both the production and interpretation
of the effect are controversial. Many studies have failed to replicate the
original effect. Other studi... |

The Mozart effect is an increase in spatial reasoning scores detected immediately after listening to the first movement of a Mozart piano sonata. Rauscher and Shaw (1998) suggested that failure to produce a Mozart effect could arise from carryover ef... |

Timbre invariance refers to the ability to determine
whether two notes at different pitches were played or
sung by the same instrument or voice. Handel and
Erickson (2001) reported that nonmusician listeners
heard pairs of notes as coming uniform... |
| Listening to Mozart Does Not Enhance Backwards Digit Span Performance |

Rauscher, Shaw, and Ky recently reported that exposure to brief periods of music by Mozart produced a temporary increase in performance on tasks taken from the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale-IV. The present study examined whether this effect occur... |
| Prelude or requiem for the ‘Mozart effect’? |
1999 |

Rauscher et al. reported [1] that brief exposure to a Mozart piano sonata produces a temporary increase in spatial reasoning scores, amounting to the equivalent of 8-9 IQ points on the Stanford-Binet IQ scale [2]. Early attempts to confirm this 'Moza... |

F. H. RAUSCHER, J. D. ROBINSON, AND J. J. JENS (1998)
REPORTED that rats learned to complete a T-maze more
quickly if they had been reared listening to a Mozart
piano sonata. They interpreted this result as a demonstration
of a “Mozart effect” in... |
