Can playing a classical sonata to a newborn instantly boost their brainpower and turn them into a genius? In 1993, a modest study on 36 college students got completely mangled by the media, sparking a multi-million-dollar industry of baby headphones, interactive CDs, and panicking parents desperate to outsource their toddler's education. In this episode, we unpack the rise and fall of the Mozart effect. We break down how a temporary, fifteen-minute spatial task bump in college students got transformed into an infant miracle myth, examine the core statistical and methodological limits of small-sample psychology, and look at the real data behind human cognitive development.
