Likes listening to classical music of Mozart? Enjoy it, but do not expect to become more intelligent because you diligently listen. However, expect your child more intelligent by giving her musical training to be considered although the effects may still need to be investigated further.
Thus the conclusion that the research results of the German Ministry of Research released last week. This conclusion is the result of an analysis of scientific data from various literature studies linking music and intelligence. The research team consisted of nine experts from the fields of neuroscience, psychology, education, and philosophy involved to review the literature on those topics.
The German government felt it was important to fund such studies because it receives so many requests to fund research proposals that examine the relationship to music with intelligence, but difficult to assess the level of truth. "We looked at all the literature to find the gaps are still questionable," said Ralph Schumacher, a professor of philosophy at Humboldt University Berlin, Germany which is also adept at playing the piano.
The popularity of music as a driver of intelligence began to bloom since the scientific journal Nature reported the results of the research psychologist Frances Rauscher and her colleagues from the University of California, Irvine, USA, in 1993. They claim a person has increased visibility of intelligence in terms of space, such as recognizing shapes and folding paper, after listening to Mozart music for 10 minutes.
Findings known to the Mozart Effect was torn into a powerful marketing tool in the music industry and health. Unfortunately, excessive use of the exploited so difficult to distinguish between the effects of music listening to music with the practice adopted in various commercial ads. In fact, until the outstanding compilation of Mozart's music to stimulate brain development in children. So the researchers looked at all the literature to find a picture of a careful and objective.
They found that most research results on the effect of music listening to Mozart's composition, which was collected in Mozart's Requiem, to intelligence is not proven consistent or the effect is only felt no more than 20 minutes. In addition, such influence is not only found in people who practice Mozart's music, but also other music or listen to stories.
The research team also subvert the claim that music can improve intelligence training. They stated, most research results published so far are too weak and can not explain its effect in the long term.
"However, one or two substantial research and carefully managed to show a significant effect on IQ because it can show it for years," said Schumacher. However, if the effect of musical training proved, it still will not make your child a genius.
