Abstract

We examined the effects of piano training on inhibition in novice younger and older adults. Measures of inhibition were administered at pretesting, 4, 8, and 12-weeks. After four weeks of training, results showed reduced error rates and faster reaction times for the piano group as compared to music listening controls.
