You've  heard of the Mozart Effect, BUT, have you heard of the ...

LISZT  EFFECT: Child speaks rapidly and extravagantly, but never really
says  anything important.

BRUCKNER EFFECT: Child speaks very slowly and  repeats himself
frequently.  Gains reputation for  profundity.

WAGNER EFFECT: Child becomes a megalomaniac. May eventually  marry his
sister.

MAHLER EFFECT: Child continually screams - at  great length and volume -
that he's dying.

SCHOENBERG EFFECT: Child  never repeats a word until he's used all the
other words in his vocabulary.  Sometimes talks backwards. Eventually,
people stop listening to him. Child  blames them for their inability to
understand him.

BABBITT EFFECT:  Child gibbers nonsense all the time. Eventually, people
stop listening to  him. Child doesn't care because all his playmates
think he's  cool.

IVES EFFECT: the child develops a remarkable ability to carry on  several
separate conversations at once.

GLASS EFFECT: the child  tends to repeat himself over and over and over
and over and over and over  and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over  again.

STRAVINSKY EFFECT: the child is prone to savage, guttural and  profane
outbursts that often lead to fighting and pandemonium in the  preschool.

BRAHMS EFFECT: the child is able to speak beautifully as  long as his
sentences contain a multiple of three words (3, 6, 9, 12,  etc).

However, his sentences containing 4 or 8 words are strangely  uninspired.

AND THEN OF COURSE, THE CAGE EFFECT -- CHILD SAYS NOTHING  FOR 4 MINUTES,

33 SECONDS. PREFERRED BY 9 OUT OF 10 CLASSROOM  TEACHERS.
