The Effect of Repetitive Music as Background Stimuli on Reaction Time : A Study on Musical Tempo (English)
Abstract [en]

This study explores how the tempo of music affects reaction time in repetitive music. The experiment involved 18 participants who performed a reaction time task, the Deary-Liewald task, to measure simple reaction time. Participants were exposed to three different conditions: fast tempo music, slow tempo music, and no music. The results indicate that faster music tempo is associated with shorter reaction times compared to slower tempo or no music tempo at all. A significance analysis was conducted to determine whether the differences were statistically significant, highlighting the need for further research to accurately assess the impact of tempo on reaction time. The study also identifies potential limitations, such as the number of participants and methodological considerations, and suggests improvements for future research. Overall, this research contributes to our understanding of how music tempo can affect reaction time, which may have applications in various areas such as driving or sports and esports.

Abstract [sv]

Denna studie utforskar hur musikens tempo påverkar reaktionstiden i repetitiv musik. Experimentet involverade 18 deltagare som genomförde en reaktionstidsuppgift, Deary-Liewald-testet, för att mäta enkel reaktionstid. Deltagarna utsattes för tre olika villkor: snabbt musiktempo, långsamt musiktempo och ingen musik. Resultaten indikerar att snabbare musiktempo är kopplat till kortare reaktionstider jämfört med långsammare tempo eller ingen musik alls. En signifikansanalys utfördes för att fastställa om skillnaderna var statistiskt signifikanta, vilket pekar på behovet av ytterligare forskning för att noggrant bedöma tempots påverkan på reaktionsförmågan. Studien identifierar också potentiella begränsningar, såsom urvalstorlek och metodologiska överväganden, och föreslår förbättringar för framtida forskning. Sammantaget bidrar denna forskning till ökad förståelse av hur musikens tempo kan påverka reaktionstiden, vilket kan ha tillämpningar inom bilkörning eller sport och esport.
