Influence of music on motor reaction time (RT) was studied. Warning and triggering stimuli were presented either in the left or in the right visual fields. RT was recorded when playing classical or variety music; control sessions were not accompanied by music. Music shortened RT, and its stimulating effect was the stronger the longer were the initial RTs without music. The influence of variety music was more effective than of the classic one. RT was shortened more when the triggering stimulus was presented in the left visual field. This phenomenon is considered to be an evidence of predominant influence of music on the right cerebral hemisphere due to greater activation from emotional structures.
研究了音乐对运动反应时间（RT）的影响。警告和触发刺激分别出现在左视野或右视野。播放古典音乐或流行音乐时记录反应时间；对照时段不播放音乐。音乐缩短了反应时间，并且最初无音乐时的反应时间越长，其刺激效果越强。流行音乐的影响比古典音乐更有效。当触发刺激出现在左视野时，反应时间缩短得更多。由于情感结构的更大激活，这种现象被认为是音乐对右半球有主要影响的证据。
