Long-Term Musical Training Alters Tactile Temporal-Order Judgment

摘要: Long-term musical training is an enriched multisensory environment that can alter uni- and substrates abilities. Amongst these altered abilities are faster reaction times for simple complex sensory tasks. The crossed arm temporal-order judgement (TOJ) task a tactile in which TOJ error rate increases when arms crossed. Reaction (RTs) this typically proportionate to the difficulty of stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) increase more than uncrossed. objective study was impact on RTs accuracy task. Seventeen musicians 20 controls were tested. Musicians had significantly all conditions half uncrossed conditions. However, errors posture. We speculate musician leave little time consolidate conflicting internal external task-related information crossing arms, leading increased incorrect responses. These results provide novel insights potential mechanisms underlying rates Moreover, they add growing literature ability propose unexpected consequence times.
