The Mozart effect refers to a relationship between listening to Mozart and an increase in spatial-temporal reasoning, or the ability to think in pictures. This discovery arose from an analysis of a neuronal brain model. In studying the model, researchers learned that music-related activity and spatial-temporal tasks utilized the same patterns of neuronal firing. This led to a study implying a direct link between music training and spatial ability. Results revealed that spatial IQ increased dramatically for a group of young pre-schoolers who received the training. After this initial study, researchers tested to see if listening to music such as Mozart might have an effect.
