很多人都喜欢一边工作一边听音乐，因为听说音乐有助于创作，可以激发创造力。
但是最近一些研究人员的新发现和这种说法正好相反，音乐实际上阻碍了创造力。
研究人员让参与者在安静的房间里完成一些问题，然后又让他们在播放背景音乐的情况下再做一次。
结果发现，背景音乐的存在显著地削弱了参与者完成与语言创造力有关的任务的能力。
研究人员也测试了背景噪音的影响，但发现这些噪音对参与者的创造力没有影响。
值得一提的是，无论音乐内容是什么，即使参与者熟知歌词，音乐也会削弱创造力，因为音乐干扰了大脑的语言工作记忆过程。
而类似于图书馆的背景噪音似乎没有影响，这是因为这种噪音创造了一个稳定状态的环境，不会干扰注意力。
