Put simply, this is the finding that spatial rotation performance (mentally rotating a 3D dimensional shape to determine whether it matches another or not) is increased immediately after listening to the music of Mozart, compared to relaxation instructions or no sound at all. Such was the attention that this finding garnered that the then US governor of Georgia, Zell Miller, proposed giving free cassettes or CDs of Mozart’s music to prospective parents."

  • "Students who revised in quiet environments performed more than 60% better in an exam than their peers who revised while listening to music that had lyrics.
  •  Students who revised while listening to music without lyrics did better than those who had revised to music with lyrics.
  • It made no difference if students revised listening to songs they liked or disliked. Both led to a reduction in their test performance.
  • Students who revised in silence rated their environment as less distracting and accurately predicted that this would lead to better performances in subsequent tests." - The website im lazy sorry
