“…This effect was present also in the group of professionals alone, but not in the amateurs, suggesting that up until a certain level of proficiency one may rely on either general intelligence (Lynn, Wilson, & Gault, 1989;Madison, Forsman, Blom, Karabanov, & Ullén, 2009;Rammsayer & Brandler, 2007), talent or past effort, but to go above that requires a certain amount of ongoing practice (e.g. Ericsson et al, 1993;Howe et al, 1998;Sloboda et al, 1996).…”

This paper reports results from three experiments using the Musical Ear Test (MET), a new test designed for measuring musical abilities in both musicians and non-musicians in an objective way with a relatively short duration (b 20 min.). In the first experiment we show how the MET is capable of clearly distinguishing between a group of professional musicians and a group of non-musicians. In the second experiment we demonstrate that results from the MET are strongly correlated with measures of musical expertise obtained using an imitation test. In the third experiment we show that the MET also clearly distinguishes groups of non-musicians, amateurs and professional musicians. The test is found to have a large internal consistency (Cronbach alpha: 0.87). We further show a correlation with amount of practice within the group of professionals as well as a correlation with a forward digit span test.

“…Intelligence correlates with accuracy in various tasks that involve processing of temporal information (Helmbold, Troche, & Rammsayer, 2007;Madison, Forsman, Blom, Karabanov, & Ullén, 2009;Rammsayer & Brandler, 2002Troche & Rammsayer, 2009;Ullén, Forsman, Blom, Karabanov, & Madison, 2008), but why is this the case? In principle, such correlations could involve both bottom-up and top-down mechanisms.…”

“…Moreover, the period and intensity of musical training have been found to be positively correlated with auditory task performance (Dun, 2000;Kormann, 1985;Shuter, 1968), but Wallentin et al (2010) found this effect only in a group of professionals but not in a group of amateurs. Wallentin et al suggested that general academic intelligence is one factor that affects performance on auditory/musical tests up to a certain level of proficiency (see also Lynn, Wilson, & Gault, 1989;Madison, Forsman, Blom, Karabanov, & Ullén, 2009;Rammsayer & Brandler, 2007) but that going above that level requires a certain amount of consistent practice (e.g., Ericsson et al, 1993;Sloboda et al, 1996). The findings also seem to show that practice alone is not responsible for enhancing performance on auditory/musical tests.…”
