A SONATA For Two Can Aid Your IQ
By Nigel Hawkes, Science Editor
1
Listening to Mozart can significantly increase your intelligence,
2
according to
researchers in America. Unfortunately, the
3
effect is temporary and only lasts about 15 minutes
.
4
Dr Frances Rauscher and two colleagues from the University of
5
California
reported the findings in the journal Nature. They asked
6
36 college students to undergo standard
psychological tests
7
after listening to a tape of Mozart's sonata for
two pianos in D major.
8
They found that the students did better after listening to this music
9
than they did
after hearing a ten-minute tape of instructions
10
designed to make them
relax, or ten minutes of silence. Although
11
the researchers could offer no explanation for the finding,
they
12
said that there had long been a belief that people who are interested
13
in music
tend to perform better at intellectually demanding tasks.
14
They believe that the beneficial effect
depends on the complexity
15
of the music played and they intend to try
other compositions
16
and musical styles to prove the point. They also plan further tests
17
to see if
listening for longer periods produces even greater effects.
