摘要
Rauscher, Shaw and Ky (1993) have reported a significant and relatively large improvement in spatial IQ scores (up to eight points) after listening to Mozart's Sonata for two pianos in D major (K488) compared to either silence or relaxation music. This result if replicated may have considerable implications for improving spatial intelligence in educational and organizational settings. In order to replicate this relationship, 30 subjects particpated in an experiment in which the effect of music (Mozart, popular dance music or silence) was measured on Raven Advanced Progressive Matrices scores. No significant effect of music on IQ performance was found.
