Human Growth and Development / Unit 1 HGD 0054 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Replication and the Mozart Effect
Captions available
The idea
Replication means repeating a study to see whether its finding holds, and findings that fail to replicate lose support.
In practice
The Mozart effect, the claim that listening to Mozart boosts reasoning, failing to reappear.
Where people slip
Later studies found little to no support for it. The vaccine–autism claim rested on falsified findings, since retracted.
