People with musical training make better choices and their brains process information more efficiently. Musical training can boost the executive brain function of both adults and children, according to new research.
Both the brains and behaviour of adult and child musicians were compared with non-musicians in the study by researchers at the Boston Children’s Hospital.
Fifteen musically trained children and 15 adult professional musicians were recruited and matched with non-musicians on a number of variables, like family income, IQ, parental education and so on.
