The present experiment employed standardized test batteries to assess the effects of fast-tempo music on cognitive performance among 56 male and female university students. A linguistic processing task and a spatial processing task were selected from the Criterion Task Set developed to assess verbal and nonverbal performance. Ten excerpts from Mozart's music matched for tempo were selected. Background music increased the speed of spatial processing and the accuracy of linguistic processing. The findings suggest that background music can have predictable effects on cognitive performance.
本实验采用标准化测试工具包评估快节奏音乐对 56 名男女大学生认知表现的影响。从用于评估言语和非言语表现的标准任务集中选择了语言处理任务和空间处理任务。选择了十首莫扎特音乐的片段，其节奏相匹配。背景音乐提高了空间处理的速度和语言处理的准确性。研究结果表明，背景音乐对认知表现可能有可预测的影响。
