Listening to Mozart's music raises listeners' general intelligence.

Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that listening to Mozart's music raises listeners' general intelligence?

No. A meta-analysis of replication studies found little evidence that listening to Mozart affects spatial reasoning, and the original researcher stressed that listening to Mozart has no effect on general intelligence; other sources likewise describe only brief, task-specific arousal effects rather than any gain in general intelligence.
