Abstract
Effects of musical selections on motor performance have been inconsist ent. Using a 3-factor within-subjects design [mellow music (4:4 time), frenetic music (2:8 time), and white noise conditions], each of 34 sc hizophrenic inpatients volunteered to perform the Purdue Pegboard and Finger Oscillation (Tapping) following 1-min. counterbalanced presenta tions of three types of music. Both pegboard and tapping performance w ere higher after frenetic music but unaffected by mellow music.
