Abstract

The objective of this work was to carry out a systematic review and meta-analysis to understand the effect that formal music training has on cognitive development, specifically on executive functions, memory, and intelligence. Of the 84 studies identified in the meta-analysis, 16 met the inclusion criteria. The cognitive processes analyzed were divided into three different cognitive domains: executive function, memory, and intelligence, with two moderating variables, age and professional experience. The results indicated that professional musicians score higher in the three cognitive domains: executive function, memory and intelligence. Taking into account age and musical experience, these differences lessen for executive function and increase for memory and intelligence, but always with higher scores for professional musicians. This data indicates that formal music training might go along with cognitive development, and thus be indicative of the development of cognitive processes, which remains over time.

乐器专业学习是否与认知过程的发展有关？一项元分析研究

这项工作的目的是进行系统回顾和荟萃分析，以了解正规音乐培训对认知发展的影响，特别是对执行功能、记忆力和智力的影响。在荟萃分析确定的 84 项研究中，有 16 项符合纳入标准。分析的认知过程分为三个不同的认知领域：执行功能、记忆和智力，以及两个调节变量：年龄和专业经验。结果表明，专业音乐家在执行功能、记忆和智力这三个认知领域的得分较高。考虑到年龄和音乐经验，这些差异在执行功能方面有所减小，在记忆和智力方面有所增大，但专业音乐家的得分始终较高。这些数据表明，正规的音乐训练可能与认知能力的发展相伴而行，因此可以表明认知过程的发展，并随着时间的推移而保持不变。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Music Education (IJME) is a peer-reviewed journal published by the International Society for Music Education (ISME) four times a year. Manuscripts published are scholarly works, representing empirical research in a variety of modalities. They enhance knowledge regarding the teaching and learning of music with a special interest toward an international constituency. Manuscripts report results of quantitative or qualitative research studies, summarize bodies or research, present theories, models, or philosophical positions, etc. Papers show relevance to advancing the practice of music teaching and learning at all age levels with issues of direct concern to the classroom or studio, in school and out, private and group instruction. All manuscripts should contain evidence of a scholarly approach and be situated within the current literature. Implications for learning and teaching of music should be clearly stated, relevant, contemporary, and of interest to an international readership.
