Formal musical training and playing experience both improve deviant-tone pattern detection

Evidence

Performance correlated positively with musical experience; years of formal training (correlation coefficient = 0.342, p = 0.015), as well as years of playing (correlation coefficient = 0.435, p = 0.002). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 5263
