Abstract
Classical music has been said to enhance cognition, which effect may b e related to musical structure. 19 subjects who listened to highly str uctured music scored somewhat higher afterwards on cognitive performan ce than the 15 who listened to less structured music. Since this did n ot reach statistical significance, other as yet unidentified factors m ay also be involved.
