Effects of the Educational Use of Music on 3- to 12-Year-Old Children’s Emotional Development: A Systematic Review

“…For example, Tricard et al [ 77 ] found that video clips and background music to induce joy and sadness caused students who experienced a positive mood to score higher on deductive reasoning activities. Teske et al [ 75 ] also found that students’ creativity was enhanced. On the other hand, Venegas et al [ 76 ] found that the use of an interdisciplinary application that used music to support the learning of graphical representation in mathematics generated positive emotional levels in students.…”

“…Tricard et al [ 77 ] found that videoclips and background music promote positive emotions in children and a significant improvement in deductive reasoning. Teske et al [ 75 ] found that happy music promotes a positive mood and creativity. Katagiri [ 79 ] found that background music increases emotional comprehension in autistic children.…”

“…In relation to the educational and formative benefits, the results indicate that music can play a role in triggering positive emotional states [ 75 , 76 , 77 ] and higher levels of motivation, concentration, and interest [ 63 , 66 , 69 , 70 , 82 ], which promotes learning in the classroom. It can also reduce the occurrence of negative emotional states such as anxiety and depression [ 86 ].…”

The Impact of a Laughter Prescription on Creativity, Well‐Being, Affect, and Academic Efficacy in University Students

“…The first study found that 30 seconds of simulated laughter increased creativity (measured using cartoon creations) and thinking skills (measured using word play) in school children (n = 14). Teske et al (2017) attributed these results to the "mood-lifting" activity of laughter supporting an environment open to idea synthesis and recognition, and creative risk. The second study found that prescribing 1 minute of laughter to adults (n = 21) three times a day for 1 week using the Laughie (a self-created tool whereby the user records 1 minute of their laughter, on their smartphone, and laughs with the recording as prescribed) increased absolute overall well-being by 16% (Gonot-Schoupinsky & Garip, 2019a, 2019b.…”
