Individual differences in musical training and executive functions: A latent variable approach

Abstract: Learning and performing music draw on a host of cognitive abilities, and previous research postulates that musicians might have advantages in related cognitive processes. One such aspect of cognition that may be related to musical training is executive functions (EFs), a set of top-down processes that regulate behavior and cognition according to task demands.Previous studies investigating the link between musical training and EFs have yielded mixed results and are difficult to compare. In part, this is because… Show more

“…Furthermore, not only is musical training a comprehensive type of training, which is more complex than other types of general cognitive training, but it is also typically considered more interesting and attractive than other types of training. Additionally, if the individual is committed to training, it makes him/her less sensitive to the cognitive load, and the direct benefits gained from training further enhances the individual’s intrinsic motivation to learn (Okada, 2016). Therefore, long-term, intensive musical training could improve EF, both comprehensively and effectively (Seinfeld et al, 2013; Slevc et al, 2016).…”

“…Músicos precisam saber quando tocar com os seus instrumentos ou vozes e quando é necessário manter-se em silêncio, esperando o seu momento para tocar. Desta forma, naturalmente, espera-se que o treinamento musical promova vantagens do ponto de vista do controle inibitório (Okada & Slevc, 2018) que em geral é avaliado por meio de tarefas que envolvem conflitos cognitivos. Além dos aspectos relativos à atenção sustentada e a alternância da atenção no sentido de ajustar aquilo que se está tocando em relação ao que está sendo tocado por outros indivíduos em uma atividade coletiva (Jentzsch, Mkrtchian & Kansal, 2014), o contexto musical demanda atenção e exercício do controle inibitório para monitorar conflitos e controlar a própria performance (Palmer, 2013 (Holochwost, et al, 2017).…”

“…De modo geral, em que pesem as limitações metodológicas dos estudos acerca dos efeitos positivos do treinamento musical sobre as FEs, que têm produzido resultados de difícil comparação face à disparidade de medidas das FEs utilizadas, extensão e tipo de treinamento musical administrado (Okada & Slevc, 2018), mais recentemente, esses estudos tem recebido suporte adicional de resultados baseados em técnicas de neuroimagem funcional. Estes documentam alterações plásticas em estruturas do sistema nervoso relacionadas ao funcionamento executivo em crianças e adultos submetidos ao aprendizado de um instrumento musical, tais como o aumento da espessura cortical observada em áreas motoras e no córtex pré-frontal dorsolateral e no córtex orbitofrontal - (Hudziak et al, 2014), e em regiões do giro frontal relacionadas às habilidades aprendidas durante o treinamento instrumental (e.g.…”

“…By looking at adults, [ 16 ] found evidence that adult musicians, when compared to musically untrained persons, perform better in a test involving inhibition of irrelevant conflicting auditory and spatial information. Furthermore, in a study that used unselected student samples and a more continuous measure of musical ability, no evidence for better inhibitory abilities was found, but there were some gains for working memory updating [ 17 ]. Another recent study provided positive correlational evidence for an association of higher general and verbal intelligence, working memory, and attention skills with the duration of musical practice [ 18 ].…”
