問題詳情

請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題:   Music activates many regions of the brain, including auditory, motor and limbic (associated withemotions). Such widespread activation of brain explains many beneficial emotional and cognitive musiceffects. The idea that music makes you smarter received considerable attention from scientists and themedia. Listening to music or playing an instrument can actually make you learn better. And researchconfirms this by showing that music has the power to enhance some kinds of higher brain function:literacy skill, spatial-temporal reasoning, mathematical abilities (even children with attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder could benefit in mathematics tests from listening to music beforehand),emotional intelligence, and recall of autobiographical and episodic information.    The power of music to affect memory is quite intriguing. Earlier it has been thought that listening toclassical music, particularly Mozart, enhances performance on cognitive tests. However, there arefindings that show that listening to any personally enjoyable music has positive effects on cognition.Listening to music also facilitates the recall of information. Researchers have shown that certain types ofmusic are great keys for recalling memories. Information learned while listening to a particular song canoften be recalled simply by “playing” the songs mentally. Musical training has even better effect thanjust listening to classical music. Activities, such as playing an instrument or singing, involve both sidesof the brain at the same time. The information being studied activates the left brain while the musicactivates the right brain. The simultaneous left and right brain action causes the brain to be more capableof processing information, hence maximizing learning and retention of information. There is clearevidence that children who take music lessons develop a better memory compared with children whohave no musical training.    Moreover, music that is easy to listen to or relaxing classics improves the duration and intensity ofconcentration in all age groups and ability levels. It’s not clear what type of music is better, or what kindof musical structure produces the best results, but many studies have shown significant effects.
