Cage effect:
A child is sometimes quiet for 4 minutes, 33 seconds, and then pretends
he's been having a conversation with you.

The Mozart Effect -- playing classical music to your children raises
their IQ -- has been pretty well debunked:

A blogger considers, however, the effect of playing music by other
composers to your child:
Liszt effect: Child speaks rapidly and extravagantly, but never really
says anything important.
Brahms effect: Child plagiarizes so forcefully that onlookers marvel
at his learning, scholarship, and of course, force.
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.
Verdi effect: Child continually screams.
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.
Webern effect: Child.
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.
