Why Mozart? Information Processing Abilities of Gifted Young Musicians

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found evidence for the existence of a Mozart Effect with upper-primary school-aged children in a school setting and found that scores on a paper folding task (PFT) for a class which listened to Mozart during testing were significantly higher than the PFT scores of a control class.

TL;DR: For example, the authors found that language and music are among the most common routes to pleasure in humans. But they did not identify any specific reward pathways for humans to enjoy them.

TL;DR: The 1990s were labeled "the decade of the brain" at least in the USA as mentioned in this paper, and the focus of much of brain research was medical, driven by the hoped-for but unachieved goal of an effective intervention against dementia, a few educationists and neuroscientists proposed that some of this research on perception, learning and memory might be informative for education.

TL;DR: Clinical Neurosurgery includes excellent clinical reviews but the two recent volumes include also a section of seminars on fundamental research-in volume 18 on coma and sleep, and in volume 19 on basic mechanisms of memory, which is a significant contribution to the literature on head injury.

TL;DR: The Cognitive Approach to Intellectual Assessment (CAP) as discussed by the authors is a Cognitive Processing Model for Intellectual Assessment and Measurement of Intelligence (CPMI) which is based on the Coding of Information (COCI).
