我们考察了节奏和模式对空间能力、唤醒和情绪的影响。一首莫扎特奏鸣曲是由一位熟练的钢琴家演奏的，并被录制成MIDI文件。该文件经过编辑，生成了四个版本，节奏(快或慢)和模式(大调或小调)各不相同。参与者听一个单一版本，并完成空间能力、唤醒和情绪的测量。当以快节奏而不是慢节奏听音乐时，当音乐以大调而不是小调模式呈现时，空间任务的表现更好。节奏操作影响唤醒，但不影响情绪，而模式操作影响情绪，但不影响唤醒。唤醒和情绪的变化与空间任务的变化是平行的。这一发现与“莫扎特效应”是唤醒和情绪变化的结果的观点是一致的。
We examined effects of tempo and mode on spatial ability, arousal, and mood. A Mozart sonata was performed by a skilled pianist and recorded as a MIDI file. The file was edited to produce four versions that varied in tempo (fast or slow) and mode (major or minor). Participants listened to a single version and completed measures of spatial ability, arousal, and mood. Performance on the spatial task was superior after listening to music at a fast rather than a slow tempo, and when the music was presented in major rather than minor mode. Tempo manipulations affected arousal but not mood, whereas mode manipulations affected mood but not arousal. Changes in arousal and mood paralleled variation on the spatial task. The findings are consistent with the view that the "Mozart effect" is a consequence of changes in arousal and mood.
