Three dependent variables used for the test measured preferences towards music, recognition of the main melody in classical music and music creativity. The preference and creativity were measured by pre- and post-test, but the recognition was only measured by post-test. The preference towards music was measured on a five-point Likert scale with 1 indicating “least preferred” and 5 indicating “most preferred.” Recognition of the main melody in a classical music excerpt was rated on a basis of the correct answer. All participants were given a list of song titles and composers, after listening to an excerpt they are supposed to match the song title and composer to what they heard. If they got both the title and composer correct they were granted one point, but if they only got one correct (title or composer) they would receive half a point (0.5).
