Musical expertise and executive functions
Session
Modern Music, Digital Production and Management
Description
The investigation musical expertise has on cognitive and executive functions have long been a research interest in neuroscience of music. However, few studies adopted an experimental approach to further investigate the domain. This paper aims to fill current research gaps by proposing that musical expertise trains three important executive functions: selective attention, cognitive conflict resolution and inhibition. By using a computerized form of assessment, we aim to detangle the performance of non-musicians and musicians on the computerized tests that measure executive functions.
