    What about a placebo effect? If you really believe it makes you smarter and let’s say you feel more motivated/enthusiastic to study when you’re listening to Mozart because you believe it makes you smarter then by default wouldn’t you be smarter since you’re studying? Another way of looking at it would be If Person A says ‘I don’t feel like studying today that sounds boring.’ And person B says the same but they also say ‘hey if I listen to Mozart it’ll make me smarter and I’ll be able to retain information better.’ In one scenario you would’ve been worse off since you didn’t even attempt to study and in the other scenario you at least tried to study and approached it with a more optimistic mindset.

    I thinks it's subjective. Cause classical music isn't even my favorite music, but I have been so lazy and unmotivated lately. Even cleaning the house turned into a huge task for me. I had this urg to put on classical music and it almost instantly got me into the mood to clean and finish reading several books I stopped reading. No other music helps me focus like that does. Even my cousin and aunt listened to it while studying for exams in college. So in my own personal experience. It helps a ton.

    As someone who has lived their entire life millimeters away from rage, I'd like to contribute to this theory that listening to classical music increases one's IQ. It probably does NOT. However, the calming effect it has, the erosion of anger it causes, allows the listener to open his mind. Allows the listener to see past anger, see beyond their inner voice of rage always ready to judge and pounce on even the WRONG answer to a problem.
    Pa-Leeeze understand I come from a rage-ful family of shouting people and ALL I HAVE in life that's really worked to reduce this rage is meditation, and music. And guess what? The combination has allowed me to get a 3.97GPA in college, and read literature normally associated with scholars. Boccaccio's Decameron and Milton's Paradise Lost, Physics, and Wave Mechanics are no longer out of reach if I give them the attention they deserve MINUS the anger of my upbringing.
    Perhaps there is no direct correlation from passive listening to a bigger, smarter brain, but the extra millimeter of distance from my rage gives me a chance to expand my knowledge, to understand where I could not before.

    I get that the studies showed little change in the test groups who listened to 10 minutes of Mozart. But what about infants or toddlers who grew up listening to classical music? How does this affect their mental ability? Do they generally do better or worse in music, math, IQ, logic, reasoning, social skills, etc? Perhaps environment accounts some for higher IQ not withstanding that book smarts and street smarts can be very different but equally useful in life. Kids listening to Mozart at say age 1-12 may have come from an more affluent family background. Perhaps the parents were more well rounded more interested in or vested in their children's development?

    I have a hard time keeping my focus on stuff that I’m not particularly interested in. I end up getting distracted by my own thoughts. So much so, that my teachers al thought I was really stupid when I was in schools, with them supposedly being smart, and me being an impressionable child, I believed them of corse. Now I know I just have ADD. Listening to certain types of music seems to give me something for my mind to bounce off of, so I can focus back on the task at hand, with out spending an hour daydreaming about some random thing, or thinking about some movie I watched years ago. Metallica would not work for that though. That would be too distracting I think. Also, caffeine seems to make it worse too. Mozart on the other hand, really does help me to focus, by drowning out my incessant internal dialogue.

  • @WillRock07
    @WillRock07 4 роки тому +1

    Musician here who listens to music pretty much all the time - My thought process on this is as follows:
    The Brain is a muscle, and listening to music switches on pathways in your brain you're probably not using at the time. In other words, no it doesn't make you smarter, but it will give your brain a little bit of an exercise. It's the same as sportsmen getting themselves warmed up before a game. It just maximises your potential. I do think that the complexity of the music will help, and how closely you listen to it, which is why relaxation music won't help as much. Mozart was just picked out because he's considered the poster boy of the typical musical genius and they didn't try it with anything else at the time, so listening to beethoven, chopin, or even metallica as the video said, will have similar effects I'd have thought. My advice - listen to music you like. If you're not engaged with it, it won't have the same effect on your brain.

    Psychology I admit is not my specialty, but my specialty is Astrology so from this point of view I can draw many conclusions.There are 4 major types of behavior that indicate the ability witch humans and not only humans do tend to work and the theory of elements work at their very best when they are given specific types of music. We in Astrology recognize the Hermetic law of resonance. So on behalf of resonance theory, we discover the 4 archetypes of elements, which I am not going to describe, but what is more than shure is that mathematics and algorithms do work although even mathematics can be wrong sometimes are not because of the wrong theory but, the small peculiarities are sometimes not properly evaluated. Details play a huge role in understanding life people's phenomena and nature himself. Music as well as we believe its use as well we can be wrong, so a throw knowledge is needed to enhance, intelligence, to provoke the growth of any kind needs knowledge and wisdom. In conclusion, music can make us more refined or exactly the opposite. Thank you for sharing this knowledge of this clip because in my mind and others' minds the vehicle questions will be "why and how?" the seeds questions that will make us more intelligent, so thank you again.

    I think people who are listening to Mozart are smarter on average, heres why:
    1. Smart People are drawn to Classical Music because in our society its seen to be a thing for smart people.
    2. People listening to Mozart feel special. Therefore they proceed to do things that intelligent people do (or atleast they think intelligent people do that stuff) and they start to learn.
    I dont think Intelligence is something were born with. Its a steady process and you can do a lot to increase your intelligence even to the point of confidence. Were stupid when were unsure. So just thinking that your smart already makes you smarter.
