Abstract
The effect of silence, slow music, and Tijuana Brass music on the control activity of twenty four automotive drivers was recorded on a Greensfield's Driveometer. Control activity was affected by the music but the effects of slow and Tijuana Brass music were not the same; speed was faster during music and weaving was less.Keywords
