Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effects of amateur choir experience on “forced-attention” dichotic listening performance in older adults. Twenty older adults with choir experience and 20 without such experience were recruited, along with a group of 20 younger adults as the baseline. Participants were instructed to complete the dichotic listening task based on consonant-vowel (CV) syllables in four attentional conditions, that is, non-forced, forced-left, forced-right, and divided attention conditions. The results showed that choir experience may offset age-related deficits in temporal processing, inhibitory control, and divided attention in the non-forced, forced-left, and divided attention conditions, respectively. But in the forced-right condition where the orienting process was required, two groups of older adults performed similarly, comparable with the younger group. Our findings support the OPERA-e hypothesis and underscore the effects of amateur musical activities against declines in temporal processing, inhibitory control, and divided attention in aging populations.

业余合唱团经验对老年人强迫注意二分听力的影响

本研究旨在调查业余合唱团经历对老年人 "强迫注意 "二分法听力表现的影响。研究人员招募了 20 名有合唱团经验的老年人和 20 名没有合唱团经验的老年人，同时还招募了 20 名年轻的成年人作为基线。受试者被要求在四种注意条件下完成基于辅音-元音（CV）音节的二分法听力任务，即非强迫、强迫-左、强迫-右和分散注意条件。结果表明，在非强迫、强迫左侧和分散注意条件下，合唱团的经验可分别抵消与年龄有关的时间处理、抑制控制和分散注意方面的缺陷。但在需要定向过程的强迫向右条件下，两组老年人的表现相似，与年轻组相当。我们的研究结果支持 OPERA-e 假设，并强调了业余音乐活动对老龄人群时间处理能力、抑制控制能力和分散注意力下降的影响。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Music and SEMPRE provide an international forum for researchers working in the fields of psychology of music and music education, to encourage the exchange of ideas and to disseminate research findings. Psychology of Music publishes peer-reviewed papers directed at increasing the scientific understanding of any psychological aspect of music. These include studies on listening, performing, creating, memorising, analysing, describing, learning, and teaching, as well as applied social, developmental, attitudinal and therapeutic studies. Special emphasis is placed on studies carried out in naturalistic settings, especially those which address the interface between music psychology and music education.
