Mozart makes you smartical! Options

[LoveToMySilas]

In 1993 researchers from the University of Wisconsin and UC Irvine discoved that listening to a Mozart Sonata increased IQ. This idea called the "Mozart Effect" has been confirmed by various studies around the world.

The study suggested that IQ rises 8 to 9 points when listening to Mozart compared to silence. Other studies have suggested improved test scores after listening to Mozart Piano Concertos. Why does this occur?

My teacher told me about this earlier before and I tried it, it actually worked for me. I was surprised.

Do you know what I meant by failed to replicate? People who tried to repeat the study (for consistency) did NOT get the same results which Rauscher, Shaw & Kay published in '93. Really, take any psych class and you'll find that the results studies need to be able to be replicated in order for the claim to be even considered valid--and that the Mozart Effect is a PRIME example of one that fails to do exactly that.

Music was digitalized before that... Just a heads up. There's really no point in arguing this(nor was it my intent to make this into a debate). I mean it's not like we're saying it's a fact that a fetus who listens to mozart (or classical music in general) to the point of birth are born as geniuses.
