Henryprofessor:Assignment on the Mozart Effect.Assignment 3: The Mozart Effect
In this assignment, you will read an article about the Mozart effect and identify various parts of the
research process. This exercise will help you learn how to read a research article and to understand the
research process.
Read the following article:
Rauscher, F. H., Shaw, G. L., & Ky, K. N. (1993). Music and spatial task performance. Nature,
365. 6447: 611. (October 14, 1993). (ProQuest Document ID 76004658).

In your article summary, respond to the following questions:
State the research hypothesis in your own words. Identify the independent and dependent
variables.
What were some variables the researchers controlled in their study? Why was this necessary?
What evidence do the researchers offer as a test of their hypothesis? Is this evidence empirical
(observable)? Is it valid?
What explanation do the researchers offer for their findings? Does the evidence justify this
explanation?
Read the following article:
Jenkins, J.S. (2001). The Mozart effect. Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 94, 170-172.

Based on your readings, respond to the following:
Do you think there is any merit in the study (Rauscher, Shaw, & Ky, 1993)? Give three reasons
for your position.
Does the study take individual differences in spatial ability into account? Explain your answer.
What are two ways in which the experiment could be modified to make the results more
generalizable?
