“…He hypothesized that experienced musicians were better able to chunk and name musical patterns and that both musicians and nonmusicians rely initially on visual cues but musicians are able to chunk the stimuli in more accurate representations. Reduced impairment from musical suppression is consistent with an improved-chunking interpretation; the ability to form an accurate auditory representation from visual presentation increases with musical experience, a finding documented in many paradigms (Finney & Palmer, 2003;Highben & Palmer, 2004). Whether other relevant factors alter with musical experience, such as sensitivity to pitch distinctiveness (Cowan, et al, 2001) or ability to rehearse an auditory image independently of presentation modality (Keller, Cowan, & Saults, 1995),…”
