“…Little is known about the influence of background music on executive functions. A study of Zuk et al (2014) reveals that certain executive skills might benefit from music training, but concerning non-musicians, less is known about the influence of background music on executive functions such as inhibition, conflict monitoring, and cognitive control. Almost all daily activities, such as shopping and working, depend on executive functions which are needed for administrating cognitive control.…”

The influence of background music on cognitive functions is still a matter of debate. In this study, we investigated the influence of background music on executive functions (particularly on inhibitory functions). Participants completed a standardized cued Go/NoGo task during three different conditions while an EEG was recorded (1: with no background music, 2: with relaxing, or 3: with exciting background music). In addition, we collected reaction times, omissions, and commissions in response to the Go and NoGo stimuli. From the EEG data, event-related potentials (ERPs) were calculated for the Go and NoGo trials. From these ERPs, the N2 and P3 components were specifically analyzed since previous studies have shown that these components (and particularly the Go-NoGo difference waves) are strongly associated with inhibitory functions. The N2 and P3 components of the difference waves (N2d and P3d) were used for statistical analyses. The statistical analyses revealed no differences between the three conditions in terms of amplitudes and latencies of the N2d and P3d components. In addition, reaction times, omissions, and commissions were comparable across all conditions. Our results suggest that in the context of this paradigm, music as background acoustic stimulation has no detrimental effects on the performance of a Go/NoGo task and neural underpinnings.

“…A este respecto otros estudios han mostrado que aquellos jóvenes que realizan actividades musicales presentan un rendimiento superior en tareas relacionadas con funciones ejecutivas confirmando la relación entre educación musical y logro académico mediado por las funciones ejecutivas (Holochwost et al, 2017). Existen estudios que demuestran, a través de pruebas neuropsicológicas, una mayor activación en áreas implicadas en funciones ejecutivas concluyendo que existe una conexión directa entre los correlatos neuronales implicados en estas funciones y el hecho de tocar un instrumento musical (Zuk et al, 2014). Además, las personas que realizan práctica musical activa tienen mayor capacidad de procesamiento en procesos de atención, emocionales y del procesamiento no verbal del habla (Alluri et al, 2017).…”

Las orquestas universitarias son instituciones dentro de las Universidades que fomentan la práctica musical entre estudiantes de estudios superiores y, resultan un agente educativo que contribuyen a la formación complementaria del alumnado. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar el nivel de autoestima y destrezas transversales de los intérpretes de orquestas universitarias y su relación con variables formativas. Se dispone de una muestra de 201 intérpretes de orquestas universitarias de varios países de Europa. Entre los principales resultados se destaca que la autoestima es baja y no se asocia con las variables formativas. Sin embargo, tienen un importante dominio de las diferentes competencias transversales y se asocian con las variables formativas. Se concluye que la participación en orquestas universitarias durante el periodo de formación académica en instituciones de Educación Superior resulta un excelente complemento formativo para el desarrollo del alumnado universitario.

“…Several studies have suggested that experience in the music field enhances DT [39][40][41][42] in terms of fluency, flexibility, and originality. Strengthening the associative modes of processing, which facilitate the retrieval of information from long-term memory, and improving the WM competences, which facilitate the online recombination of information [23], might explain the relationship between musical practice and DT.…”

Divergent thinking (DT) is widely considered an essential cognitive dimension of creativity, which involves goal-oriented processes, including working memory (WM), which allows for retrieving and loading of information into the attentional stream and, consequently, enhancing divergence of thinking. Despite the critical role of WM in DT, little work has been done on the mechanism affecting this interplay. The current study addressed the involvement of a formal musical background in the relationship between WM and DT and was conducted with 83 healthy young adults (M = 19.64 years; SD = 0.52 years; 33 females). The participants were requested to indicate if they had a formal background in music in the conservatory (M = 4.78 years; SD = 5.50 years) as well as perform the digit span forward test (DSFT) and the alternative uses task—AUT from the Torrance test of creative thinking (TTCT). The results indicated that years of formal musical background moderated the association between WM and DT. These findings suggest that music enhances the positive effect of high-order cognitive processes, such as WM, on the ability to think divergently. Theoretical and practical implications as well as limitations were discussed.
