| Research Abstract |
Using a slot-machine type video game, where a high degree of concentration is needed for the playing, the effects of music on the performance and impression of the game were examined. The results showed that the listening to music resulted in a negative effect on the performance. The negative effect on the performance was larger for the musical excerpts which provided more "unpleasant" impression to the game playing. The results also suggested that the manipulation of spectral centroid varies the degree of the "pleasantness" of the game, in turn, can controls the performance of the game.
