How did the process of replication help psychologists understand the Mozart Effect?
What will be an ideal response?
The original researchers claimed that listening to music led to improved scores in spatial tasks. Subsequently Steele and his colleagues and Thompson and colleagues varied types of music to which participants listened. When these researchers replicated the original studies, they found that arousal levels and mood accounted for the effect. So psychologists now believe that listening to Mozart does not have a specific effect on cognitive processes.
