Abstract
The aim of the study was to measure the effect of different background music on the
performance of extraverts and introverts in cognitive tasks. A 2x3 (extraversion x background
conditions) factorial design was used. Cognitive tasks were: reading comprehension and free
recall short-term memory test. The background conditions were the subjects’ favourite
background music used for studying, monotonous music and silence. It was predicted that the
results of extraverts would either improve or not vary; and that those of introverts either
deteriorate or not vary. There were no main effects, although interactions were found in both
music conditions. The results justify further studies on the effect of favourite background
music on cognitive tasks.
