Is it true that listening to Mozart's music produces a lasting increase in intelligence?

No. One source directly states that the Mozart effect is brief and that general intelligence is not affected, while a preschool study found no significant differences after listening to Mozart. Other items only address narrow spatial-reasoning or balance measures, not lasting intelligence.
