Re: [AUDITORY] Papers on lack of effect of musical training

This meta analysis found that the speech in noise advantage in musicians is not because of voice tagging in the early brainstem response.

Dear everyone,

I'm currently conducting a literature review on the transfer of musical expertise onto other domains of cognition, as part of a paper where I compare musicians with sound engineers across a number of behavioural tasks, i.e. psychophysics, auditory scene analysis, sustained selective attention, and speech in noise perception.

I am specifically interested in papers that failed to detect an association between musicianship and any of these dimensions, which are surprisingly (or unsurprisingly?) very hard to find via canonical search engines. 

Would anyone know of any recent papers that might fit into this category?

I’m only aware of the mixed literature on speech in noise perception (see refs below).

Any help will be greatly appreciated.


Kind regards,

Francesco
