“…This pattern of results is reasonable for during a sad emotional state one has more cognitive issues to dwell on, leading to cortical desynchronization, than when one is happy. We saw no clear laterality effects, unlike those seen for simple repeated tones and melodies (Breitling et al, 1987) perhaps because the dynamic brain changes fluctuate greatly as a function of time and task (Petsche, 1996).…”

This article summarizes the potential role of evolved brain emotional systems in the mediation of music appreciation. A variety of examples of how music may promote behavioral change are summarized, including effects on memory, mood, brain activity as well as autonomic responses such as the experience of 'chills'. Studies on animals (e.g. young chicks) indicate that musical stimulation have measurable effects on their behaviors and brain chemistries, especially increased brain norepinephrine (NE) turnover. The evolutionary sources of musical sensitivity are discussed, as well as the potential medical-therapeutic implications of this knowledge. #

Abstract:To address childhood obesity, it is important to help children make better choices with regards to intake of sugary drinks and snacks. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity of a novel educational intervention designed to convert grams of sugar into teaspoons on labeled beverages. A convenience sample of children (n = 21) at a charter elementary school in Washington, D. C was studied. A pre-test required an estimation of teaspoons of sugar on labels, followed by a practice demonstration and song. A post-test was given requiring estimation of teaspoons of sugar in on the same labels. Two weeks later, a retention test as well as qualitative questions assessed participant learning and information usage. Test scores revealed increased accuracy from pre-test (26.2%) to post-test (79.8%). Estimations were more accurate after the demonstration, as evidenced by the decreased range in average variation of responses (+25.6 tsp to +1.8 tsp). Two-week recall maintained accuracy (66.7%), with an average variance of +3.8 teaspoons. Qualitative responses revealed participants had learned and used the conversion concepts. These results suggest that the educational intervention was effective. Qualitative data suggest behavior change, increased awareness, and the potential for change extending to caregivers.

“…These more in-depth analyses are the type that would be expected to be a function of the left hemisphere, and evidence from prior research supports this suggestion (e.g., Bever & Chiarello, 1974;Breitling et al, 1987;Gordon, 1975;Platel, Price, et al, 1997), While any person could be directed to make such analyses, it is more likely that musicians would do so even in passive processing due to their training in the subtleties of music structure. Such is the situation in this experiment, where music is the distracter to an attended channel.…”

“…Both are analytical functions, requiring that a person apply the proper structure, form, and timing to the stimuli in order to properly perceive them. On the other hand, prosody in language is largely a right hemisphere function (Kolb & Whishaw, 1990), as is phrase processing in music (Breitling, Guenther, & Rondot, 1987). Both of these are hohstic processes and require an interpretation of how the entire sentence or phrase flows in temporal sequence, pitch, and dynamics.…”

“…A person primarily utihsing their left hemisphere to process a stimulus would therefore exhibit a right ear advantage due to the fact that nearly all external stimuh reach the hemisphere of the brain opposite (contralateral) to the area of space in which they occurred. The analytic-holistic, left-right distinction has also been used by Breitling et al (1987) to explain their Electroencephalogram (BEG) results showing more left hemisphere activation in musicians than non-musicians during music processing.…”
