TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Enhanced spatial performance following 10 minutes exposure to music: a replication JO - Perceptual and motor skills A1 - Rideout, B. E. A1 - Taylor, J. SP - 112 EP - 114 VL - 85 IS - 1 N2 - Previous research has demonstrated that 10 min. exposure to classical music can influence performance on a spatial task. The effect, however, has not been robust, suggesting a sensitivity to individual differences and task operationalization. The present study involved a further replication of this effect. 16 female and 16 male undergraduates completed two equivalent spatial tests, one following a control procedure and one following the presentation of Mozart's Sonata for two pianos in D major. Performance showed a small but significant improvement immediately following presentation of the music.
