37、ts have failed to support the widely publicized finding that Mozarts music promotes mathematical thinking. Researchers reported six years age that listening to Mozart brings about short-tem improvements in spatial-temporal reasoning, the type of thinking used in maths. Gordon Shaw of the University

38、of California at Irvine and Frances Rauscher of the University of Wisconsin in Oshkosh had asked students to perform spatial tasks such as imagining how a piece of paper would look if it were folded and cut in a certain pattern.Some of the students then listened to a Mozart sonata and took the test

39、again. The performance of the Mozart group improved, Shaw found. He reasoned that listening to Mozart increases the number of connections between neurons. But Kenneth Steele of Appalachian State University in North Carolina learnt that other studies failed to find this effect. He decided to repeat o

40、ne of Shaws experiments to see for himself.Steele divided 125 students into three groups and tested their abilities to work out how to paper would look if cut and folded. One group listened to Mozart, another listened to a piece by Philip Glass and the third did not listen to anything. Then the stud

41、ents took the test again.No group showed any statistically significant improvement in their abilities. Steele concludes that the Mozart effect doesnt exist. “Its about as unproven and as unsupported as you can get.” he says.Shaw, however, defends his study. One reason he gives is that people who per

42、form poorly in the initial test get the greatest boost from Mozart, but Steele didnt separate his students into groups based on ability. “Were still at the stage where it needs to be examined.” Shaw says. “I suspect that the more we understand the neurobiology, the more well be able to design tests

43、that give a robust effect.”61. It has been recently found out that _A.
