Moving toward a neuroplasticity view of bilingualism, executive control, and aging (2014, background): “…regions associated with the development of certain skills, for example, musical performance (Elbert, Pantev, Wienbruch, Rockstroh, & Taub, 1995; Herholz & Zatorre, 2012), juggling (Draganski et al., 2004), navigation (Maguire et al., 2000), and acquisition of a second language (Berken et al.,…”
Revisiting the association between music lessons and intelligence: Training effects or music aptitude? ☆ (2017, background): “…University of Toronto llenberg). transfer effects, such that music training is said to improve nonmusical cognitive capacities, such as intelligence, speech perception, auditory memory, or brain plasticity more generally (Herholz & Zatorre, 2012; Strait & Kraus, 2011a, 2011b; Wan & Schlaug, 2010).”
Theta and alpha oscillations may underlie improved attention and working memory in musically trained children (2024, methodology): “In sight of this, musical training has been proposed to be used as a model of brain plasticity (Herholz & Zatorre, 2012; Münte et al., 2002), which refers to the ability of the nervous system to change its activity in response to intrinsic or extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure,…”
