Abstract

Recent research has examined links between exposure to music and cognitive abilities [1–7]. Although the effects of listening to music (e.g. the so-called ‘Mozart effect’) stem from the listener's emotional state, byproducts of formal training in music on language and other aspects of cognition are poorly understood [1]. Nonetheless, speculation abounds about the nature of the observed associations [2–6]. Here, we highlight five issues that remain unresolved.
