Abstract

Music has great benefits; music can improve mood which in turn enhances cognitive performance in the brain. The objective of this literature review is to see how musical induction, the process of using mood induction through music, can change affect. Affect is the emotional reactive response to stimuli. With time, affect can influence mood, becoming an emotional state that stays stagnant for a prolonged period of time. Positive affect and mood benefit cognitive performance in 4 domains: attention and processing speed, working memory, declarative memory, and executive function. Results from scientific journals, blogs, and journal articles were reviewed to [paraphrased + shortened research question]. Studies suggest that musical induction can induce positive affect, enhancing cognitive performance in memory, processing speed, and attention. Since music is prevalent in daily lives, understanding how brain functions benefit positively from musical induction is extremely important; these tools and knowledge will be beneficial in solving mental health issues and other crises.
