Argosy University Online M1_A3_The Mozart Effect Cognitive Psychology PSY363 A01 Professor: Kimberly Wilkins Student: Chantel Perez September 3, 2015 Abstract The Mozart Effect is an occurrence that takes place when individuals listen to the two piano sonata. The results are that individuals can recollect information better. There are two studies that were conducted in association with the Mozart Effect. The first study was dedicated to spatial skill performance, and its neural pathway relation to music. The second study, challenged the first study with the argument that any type of music appreciated can cause the same memory effect.
Attention Must Be Paid This article is letting parents know that it is proven that when babies are cared for by caring parents or adults, they become much more better learners. When Abigail Jane Zuckerman was born on July 7, Mr. Zuckerman was able to feel the excitement that every parent experiences. While a parent looks at their newborn they wonder if the choices that they make now and later on in their life are going to be the right one decision. After scientific findings there are new reasons to be concern, which is if parents are going to be responsible enough for the care of their child. Every day a newborn baby’s brain develops with amazing speed.
Therefore, toy makers decided to make them faster, which will keep the kids busy and they will enjoy it longer. Most kids wouldn’t want to be hanging out with their friends, and have a race with their toys if their toy was going to be slow. Most of them would only want to race if their toy was going to be fast. That is why toy makers decided to make the toys faster. Toy makers also started to make toys smaller.
The Benefits of Music Education By Laura Lewis Brown Whether your child is the next Beyonce or more likely to sing her solos in the shower, she is bound to benefit from some form of music education. Research shows that learning the do-re-mis can help children excel in ways beyond the basic ABCs. More Than Just Music Research has found that learning music facilitates learning other subjects and enhances skills that children inevitably use in other areas. “A music-rich experience for children of singing, listening and moving is really bringing a very serious benefit to children as they progress into more formal learning,” says Mary Luehrisen, executive director of the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Foundation, a not-for-profit association that promotes the benefits of making music. Making music involves more than the voice or fingers playing an instrument; a child learning about music has to tap into multiple skill sets, often simultaneously.
Long has the topic of music and its effects been argued, and some think that music may improve brain functions; others believe this to be untrue. Recently a theory known as The Mozart Effect, or the belief that there is a direct correlation between test scores and listening to classical music, has been a large topic of discussion. In 1993 the study that created The Mozart Effect was conducted at U.C. Irvine on a small group of college of students, the results were inconclusive, but the study caused a stir that is still being felt today. Large questions have been asked related to this topic; can music dictate a person’s mood, is classical music the only music that has beneficial effects on the brain, and whether or not music is a stimulant to the mind.
Stories like that excite me, because for those who know me, know that the number one thing in which I am passionate about and excel, is working with little children. Becoming a pediatric nurse is my passion and something that I can see myself doing for the next 30 years. I would love to be able to go to college and come out debt free, but the fact that my family makes less than thirty thousand dollars a year, makes that likelihood very slim, if not impossible. This is why I am asking for your help with this scholarship. Providing me with this scholarship money will not only help me get through my schooling now, but it will also give the world, one more nurse who can be an angel to a sick child, like my cousin Vincent.
Why Music Education Is Important When educational cuts are made, music and art are amongst the first subjects to go. Unfortunately, it means that parents, educators and even board members are overlooking each subject`s importance. Music education is more than just introducing students to beats, notes and songs. Instead, it completely transforms a child`s mind and opens up endless possibilities to their learning potential. One of the most notable studies on music and the brain, the Mozart Effect, began as a college research experiment.
College is Worth the Money Imagine being in kindergarten, walking through the classroom door feeling excited or anxious. It’s the start of an educational career, the spark of someone's dreams for the future. The ideal life plan for kids was to grow up and go to college, now as children or students get older and the costs of college are starting to become more of a reality, some of those kids who were once so invested with the thought of college start to worry about how high the cost is, so what all parents and students are asking, is it really worth it? Going to college is worth the money because it will help one find out what they really want to do in life , it will show them responsibility , and it will better their chances of getting a good,
For consumers, it is very difficult to reject the advertising “attraction” because the advertiser has already analyzed the reader as a target audience in terms of psychological, cultural, and social environment in order to produce “powerful messages.” And, when it becomes advertising to “children,” the concerns over “the persuasive power of advertising” are paid more attentions. As a result, a variety of debates and academic works on “children and advertising” has been developed in the last decade. The diversity of academic approach to “children and advertising” includes sociologists, psychologists, behavioral scientists, market researchers, lawyers, advertisers, children and parent’s organizations, national government, etc. Yet, this diversity and a great deal of debates have neither settled much concerns over “advertising to children” nor gotten rid of “the advertising targeted for children” from media. The structure of advertising messages will be analyzed in the fields of persuasion and media studies.
Pushing your children into playing sports will lead to emotional problems in teenage years. We all have dreams for our children, just as our parents had for us. Some have dreams of our children one day becoming successful doctors, lawyers or even professional athletes. Watching sports on TV and dreaming of your child being on the tube playing can be a reality for some, but for most it will just be a dream. After all, many Americans fall into the belief that success and money equals happiness.
