Is it true that playing classical music to babies makes them smarter?
No. Multiple reference works and a peer-reviewed article on neuromyths state that playing classical music to babies does not make them smarter, and that later studies failed to confirm the 1990s Mozart-effect findings. One book only traces how the belief spread without evaluating it.
