What is the Mozart effect?

By Silvia Azaña Gutiérrez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 01/29/2024

The Mozart effect has become popular and is the name given to the belief that listening to classical music by this composer during pregnancy can make the baby more intelligent or creative. However, scientific evidence has not been able to demonstrate that this music increases the intellectual development of babies.

However, there is a positive and beneficial effect on the well-being that music can generate in the mother, since this will be transmitted to the fetus. Therefore, any type of music that the pregnant woman likes, relaxes, encourages or puts her in a good mood can be valid.
