研究发现:边听音乐边工作阻碍创造力

From Mozart to Metallica, tons of people enjoy listening to various types of music e to their conclusions, researchers had participants plete verbal insight problems designed to inspire creativity plete tasks associated monly heard in a library, but found that such noises had no impact on subjects creativity.研究小组还测试了背景噪音，比如图书馆里经常听到的噪音，但发现这些噪音对受试者的创造力没有影响。The tasks bined to form a mon phrase or pleted the tasks in either a quiet room, or parison to quiet background conditions, says co-author Dr. Neil McLatchie of Lancaster University.这项研究的合著者、兰卡斯特大学的尼尔·麦克拉奇博士表示：“我们发现了强有力的证据来证明这一事实：与安静的背景条件相比，播放背景音乐会使人们的表现受到不利的影响。”Dr. McLatchie and his colleagues theorize that music interferes with the verbal working memory processes of the brain, hindering creativity. Also, as far as the library background noises having seemingly no effect, the studys authors believe that was the case because library noises create asteady state environment that doesnt disrupt concentration.麦克拉奇博士和他的同事认为，音乐干扰了大脑的语言工作记忆过程，阻碍了创造力。至于为什么图书馆的背景噪音似乎没有影响，该研究的作者认为，这是因为图书馆噪音创造了一个“稳定状态”的环境，不会干扰注意力。Its worth mentioning that even familiar music with well known lyrics impaired participants creativity, regardless of whether or not it elicited a positive reaction, or whether participants typically studied or created while listening to music.值得一提的是，即使是参与者熟知歌词的音乐也会削弱其创造力，不管它是否引起了积极的反应，也不管参与者是否在听音乐时学习或创作。To conclude, the findings here challenge the popular view that music enhances creativity, and instead demonstrate that music, regardless of the presence of semantic content (no lyrics, familiar lyrics or unfamiliar lyrics), consistently disrupts creative performance in insight problem solving, the study reads.研究报告写道：“总而言之，这些研究结果挑战了人们普遍认为音乐能够增强创造力的观点，反而证明了无论音乐的内容是什么（有没有歌词、歌词熟不熟悉），音乐总是会干扰人们解决洞察力问题的创造性表现。”The study is published in the journal Applied Cognitive Psychology.该研究发表在《应用认知心理学》期刊上。
