The Mozart EffectIn 1993 it was shown that students scored better on the spatial IQ test after listening to Mozart's Piano Sonata k 448. They scored up to nine points higher than students who took the test using other methods. Mozart has a greater influence on brain development than other composers, resulting in better study results, easy memorization, and better test scores. The University of California conducted research testing different methods in students when testing IQ. The group that used a Mozart Sonata scored eight to nine points more than the other groups. This result has been called “The Mozart Effect”. Compared to a diverse list of composers, Mozart and Bach show better results on brain development such as long-term periodicity. Music that has an influence on long-term periodicity shows better results on spatio-temporal performance. The researchers studied this effect with non-musical selections and noticed that Mozart was the one who increased spatio-temporal abilities. It is recommended that you listen to a musical composition such as Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D major before taking an exam. This type of melodies therefore helps the body to relax; allows the person to achieve better results. The musical compositions of Mozart and Bach have a pattern of 60 beats per minute; these types of compositions activate the right and left hemispheres of the brain. When studying, the left side of the brain is activated, music activates the right side, using both parts at the same time increases the ability to process information. Music from the Baroque period, such as Bach, and the Classical period, Mozart, have a tendency to repeat the theme, change the tempo, change the mood, and so on. These... half of the paper... 11.
