  How Background Music Affects a Preschooler's Attention

  Dissertation research on the affect of backgroundmusic on a preschooler's attention. Children were interrupted with background music periodically during a play session. Boys were distracted more than girls

  younger children were distracted and lost attention more than older children

  and children who had more music background in their home were more attentive to play than children with limited music in the home.
