The notion that music affects cognitive performance catapulted from the research laboratory to the television talk shows in 1993 when a study found that spatial-temporal reasoning--the ability to form mental images from physical objects or to see patterns in time and space--improved in college students after listening to a Mozart sonata for 10 minutes. They found causal links in three areas: (1) listening to music and temporary improvements in spatial-temporal reasoning--thinking using pictures that evolve in space and time; (2) learning to play music and spatial reasoning--the ability to interpret and make drawings, form mental images and visualize movement or change in those images; and (3) classroom drama and verbal skills such as understanding and recall of stories. But while the mental images of early modern peoples are not identical to ours, there are some eery parallels. |
