Musical sophistication och arbetsminne : En pilotstudie om korrelationen mellan självskattad musical sophistication och arbetsminne hos en svensk normalpopulation / Musical sophistication and working memory : A pilot study about the correlation between self-rated musical sophistication and working memory in a Swedish normal population

Alvén, Isabella, Holm, Rebecca January 2024 (has links)
The aim of the present pilot study was to investigate the relationship between musical sophistication and working memory in a Swedish population. Hypotheses included that there would be a moderately strong correlation between musical sophistication and musical working memory, a moderate but somewhat weaker relationship between musical sophistication and auditory working memory, and no relationship between musical sophistication and visuospatial working memory. The study was of cross-sectional design and included 31 adult participants. The participants filled in a self-assessment form about musicality (Gold-MSI) and then had to complete three working memory tests (Melody Discrimination Test, Digit Span, Spatial Span). Spearman's correlation was used to analyze the data. The result showed a moderately strong correlation between musical sophistication and musical working memory. No significant results were obtained for the other working memory tests. An exploratory analysis of the relationship between musical sophistication and musical working memory showed that musical working memory ability correlated with some subscales on the Gold-MSI where there was a strong relationship with musical training, moderate with singing ability and weak with perceptual ability. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that Music training was the individual variable that explained the variance in musical working memory (32%). The results of this study provide important indications for future research on working memory and can be used to further investigate the possibility of introducing music training interventions as a means of improving working memory ability. / Syftet med föreliggande pilotstudie var att undersöka sambandet mellan musical sophistication och arbetsminne i en svensk population. Hypoteser innefattade att det skulle vara en måttligt stark korrelation mellan musical sophistication och musikaliskt arbetsminne, måttligt men något svagare samband mellan musical sophistication och auditivt arbetsminne och inget samband mellan musical sophistication och visuospatialt arbetsminne. Studien var av tvärsnittsdesign och inkluderade 31 vuxna deltagare. Deltagarna fyllde i ett självskattningsformulär om musikalitet (Gold-MSI) och fick sedan genomföra tre arbetsminnestester (Melody Discrimination Test, Sifferrepetition, Blockrepetition). Spearmans korrelation användes för att analysera datan. Resultatet visade en måttligt stark korrelation mellan musical sophistication och musikalisk arbetsminnesförmåga. Inga signifikanta resultat erhölls för de andra arbetsminnestesterna. En explorativ analys av sambandet mellan musical sophistication och musikaliskt arbetsminne visade att musikalisk arbetsminnesförmåga korrelerade med några delskalor på Gold-MSI där det var starkt samband med Musikträning, måttligt med Sångförmåga och svagt med Perceptuell förmåga. Hierarkisk multipel regressionsanalys visade att Musikträning var den individuella variabeln som förklarade variansen i musikaliskt arbetsminne (32%). Resultaten från denna studie ger viktiga indikationer inför framtida forskning om arbetsminnet och kan användas för att vidare undersöka möjligheten att införa musikträningsinterventioner som ett sätt att förbättra arbetsminnesförmåga.
