Restart your brain with “The Mozart Effect”

近年來，科學家們正致力于研究音樂如何對大腦產生作用，以及其他諸多功能。古典音樂，尤其是莫扎特的作品，對我們工作學習可能大有裨益。小伙伴們，別再只聽流行歌曲了，讓莫扎特、貝多芬、肖邦來使你變得更聰明吧。

For years， scientists have been studying how music affects the brain and its functions. Classical music， particularly songs by Mozart， has produced measurable results that have become known as “The Mozart Effect.” The theory， essentially， is that listening to the music of Mozart can improve your intellectual capacity.

Several studies have shown cognitive improvements in those who listened to classical music prior to performing certain tasks or taking tests. Functions that demonstrated in increase in capacity included： language skills， reading skills， spatial tasks， verbal communications， quantitative abilities， concentration， memory， and motor skills.

Several studies of students preparing to take the SAT test compared test scores of those who listened to classical music prior to taking the test with those who did not. Those who preceded the test with classical music scored higher on the SAT than the students who did not.
