@tandfonline @Ry21122 @MCraigHCN @FalkHanna @ingmar_skoog @AlanJohnGow @heriotwatt_soss Read the full publication in @tandfonline's Aging, Neuropsychology, and Cognition: Gray, R., Craig, M., Falk Erhag, H., Skoog, I., & Gow, A. J. (2025). Assessing the effect of musical experience on cognitive function in older age: a coordinated analysis.

@tandfonline @Ry21122 @MCraigHCN @FalkHanna @ingmar_skoog @AlanJohnGow @heriotwatt_soss In one dataset, those with musical experience significantly outperformed those without in visuospatial abilities, processing speed, memory and executive function. There were no differences in the other dataset reaffirming the complexity of the music-cognition relationship.

@tandfonline @Ry21122 @MCraigHCN @FalkHanna @ingmar_skoog @AlanJohnGow @heriotwatt_soss Evidence suggests older adults with musical experience demonstrate better cognitive function, however, findings are mixed. The current study used a coordinated analysis to investigate cognitive performance between older adults with/without musical experience across two datasets.
