Abstract

In this paper, we investigated the existence of the temporal component of Mozart effect, analyzed the influence of arousal or mood changing to attentional blink when listening to Mozart Sonata (K.448 D Major). We manipulated the tempo and the mode of Mozart Sonata to check if these two factors of music could affect participant's temporal attention in two experiments. According to the experiment results, the temporal component of Mozart effect does not general exist. Mozart Sonata might possibly induce listener's arousal or mood shifting, but could not induce any temporal attention improvement significantly.
