Q The “Mozart Effect”? Read the section in Chapter 2 on the role of emotion in critical thinking (p. 44-50) including the “Critical Thinking in Action” section from this chapter entitled The Mozart Effect (p. 50). While research has suggested that little support exists for claims that listening to music improves cognition1, different types of music can affect our emotions and may help our hinder our ability to reason and perform tasks. Let’s do a bit of an experiment. First, answer these questions: 1. What type of music do you like the most? Why do you like it? 2. How does the music affect emotions/feelings? In a few sentences, explain the connection between the music itself and the feelings it evokes.3. Find an example of each of the “categories” of music listed in the article (Baroque, jazz/blues, salsa/etc., rock, ambient/New Age, heavy metal/punk, etc.) on YouTube. Listen to the music for a few minutes and record the feelings that each evoke in you. Be sure to name the song and the artist for each entry. 4. Write a paragraph describing the degree do you think that music can affect our critical thinking – for both the good and the bad? (5 sentences minimum)
