Correction to "Effects of one-to-one music therapy in older adults with cognitive impairment: A randomized controlled trial" by Mangiacotti et al. (2024).

Reports an error in "Effects of one-to-one music therapy in older adults with cognitive impairment: A randomized controlled trial" by Anthony M. A. Mangiacotti, Ming Hung Hsu, Clare Barone, Martine Van Puyvelde, Alessandro Zandonà, Gianfranco Gabai, Michele Biasutti and Fabia Franco (Psychology and Aging, 2024[Dec], Vol 39[8], 960-982; see record 2025-57325-007). In the article, multiple tables and figures have been moved closer to their callouts. Tables 1, 3, 4, and 5 and Figure 1 have each moved one page earlier in the article. Tables 6, 7, 8, and 9 and Figures 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 have each moved two pages earlier in the article. The text has shifted accordingly. The online version of this article has been corrected. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2025-57325-007.) This study investigated the effects of music therapy (MT), a nonpharmacological therapy, on cognitive, behavioral, and physiological outcomes in older adults with mild-to-moderate cognitive decline residing in care home settings. A randomized controlled trial design was employed, with 42 care home residents (Mage = 86.25 years) randomly assigned to either a one-to-one 16-week MT intervention or an active control group receiving storytelling. Experimental and control activities were matched on key aspects, and groups were equivalent at baseline concerning demographic factors, general health, cognitive-behavioral characteristics, and cognitive reserve levels. Pre/postintervention neuropsychological and behavioral measures were collected, alongside saliva samples for cortisol/dehydroepiandrosterone ratio and respiratory sinus arrhythmia analysis as indicators of overall stress and autonomic regulation. The MT group exhibited benefits in cognitive, behavioral, and physiological domains, suggesting potential advantages in maintaining cognitive functioning and reducing neuropsychiatric symptoms. Biomarkers indicated possible mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of MT. The 16 one-to-one interactive MT sessions-delivered over 5 months-had a positive impact on older adults with mild-to-moderate cognitive decline living in care home settings. The implications of these findings for healthy aging and suggestions for future research are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
