Previous attempts by various researchers to replicate the enhancement of spatial performance following 10 min. exposure to music have been inconsistent in their findings. In the present study 16 subjects showed reliable improvement on a paper-folding-and-cutting task after listening to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D major, as employed by others. The enhanced performance was also noted for 16 other subjects after listening to a contemporary selection having similar musical characteristics. In both cases the control procedure included 10 min. of listening to a progressive relaxation tape.
此前，不同研究人员尝试复制在接触10分钟音乐后空间表现得到增强的效果，但其研究结果并不一致。在本研究中，16名受试者在聆听其他人所采用的莫扎特《D大调双钢琴奏鸣曲》后，在折纸与剪纸任务中表现出了可靠的进步。另外16名受试者在聆听具有相似音乐特征的当代音乐选段后，也出现了表现增强的情况。在这两种情况下，对照程序均包括聆听10分钟的渐进性放松磁带。
