Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of background music on a variety of work related behaviors of 12 adults with developmental handicaps, who were involved in the sorting of grocery coupons at either of two levels of task complexity. All individuals were systematically observed in their natural work training environment for a period of 16 days under conditions of music and no-music presentations. The results indicated that the background music had a significant positive effect on work oriented behavior. In addition, non-work oriented behaviors were significantly less frequent in the presence of music, regardless of the type of task performed.
