Music is the language of the soul. For thousands of the years,humans have been creating songs and symphonies which enthrall, inspire and hypnotize. Our history and culture is closely entwined with musical notes. It should come as no surprise that music has a profound effect on the human mind. We’ve all felt it before, music helps us relax, it gives us goosebumps and it encourages us to push ourselves to the limit. Music has been an important part of every human cultures, both past and present. There used to be a popular belief that music is processed in the right hemisphere of our brains,along with art and other creative activities. However, recent findings show us that music is distributed throughout the brain. Music is an escape from the monotony of everyday life, it’s where people go for inspiration energy refuge. Music, with its melodies and rhythms, evokes powerful emotions. Music has no boundaries.

A similar conflict is also seen when reading in the presence of lyrical music. In this situation, the two sources of words—from the task and the sound—are in conflict. The cost is poorer performance of the task in the presence of music with lyrics. ⑥What this all means is that whether having music playing in the background helps or hinders performance depends on the task and the type of music, and only understanding this relationship will help people maximize their productivity levels.

①Many of us listen to music while we work, thinking that it will help us to concentrate on the task at hand. And in fact, recent research has found that music can have beneficial effects on creativity. When it comes to other areas of performance, however, the impact of background music is more complicated. ②The idea that listening to music when working is beneficial to output probably has its roots in the so-called “Mozart Effect”. Put simply, this is the finding that the spatial reasoning ability(空间推理能力) is increased immediately after listening to the music of Mozart’s, compared to no sound at all. ③How sound affects performance has been the topic of research for over 40 years, and is observed through a phenomenon called the irrelevant sound effect. To study the irrelevant sound effect, participants in the research are asked to complete a simple task which requires them to recall a series of numbers or letters in the exact order in which they saw them. The tricky thing is being able to do this while ignoring any background noise. ④Two key characteristics of the irrelevant sound effect are required for its observation. First, the task must require the people to use their rehearsal ability(复述能力), and second, the sound must contain acoustical variation(声音变化). Where the sound does not vary much acoustically, the performance of the task is much closer to that observed in quiet conditions. ⑤The irrelevant sound effect itself comes from attempting to process two sources of ordered information at the same time— one from the task and the other from the sound. Unfortunately, only the former is required to successfully perform the recall task, and the effort to ensure that irrelevant order information from the sound is not processed actually hinders(阻碍) this ability.
