“…Some participants 609 even showed inaccurate tapping for rate within the range of their own personal SMT/PPT. This 610 pattern is consistent with another recent study who failed to find a correspondance between 611 SMT and performance on motor syncronization-continuation task (McPherson et al 2018). In 612 that study, synchronization-continuation accuracy was negatively correalted with the overall 613 isochrony of spontaenous tapping, however not to participants' personal SMT rate.…”

“…The notion of a personal tempo has been around for decades (Rimoldi 566 1951), but although some studies look at within-subject consistency across trials, this is often 567 limited to a small number of trials/sessions (Schwartze and Kotz 2015) and individual 568 differences in test-retest reliability are rarely reported. Indeed, similar to the current findings, 569 a recent study showed that individuals vary substantially in the degree of isochrony during 570 spontaneous tapping, although in that study SMT replicability across trials/session was not 571 tested (McPherson et al 2018). Test-retest replicability of PPT is even less prevalent, and as 572 mentioned above, measurement of the PPT itself is often skewed toward the SMT by 573 experimental design.…”

1 2 Many aspects of human behavior are inherently rhythmic, requiring production of rhythmic 3 motor actions as well as synchronizing to rhythms in the environment. It is well-established 4 that individuals with ADHD exhibit deficits in temporal estimation and timing functions, which 5 may impact their ability to accurately produce and interact with rhythmic stimuli. In the current 6 study we seek to understand the specific aspects of rhythmic behavior that are implicated in 7 ADHD. We specifically ask whether they are attributed to imprecision in the internal 8 generation of rhythms or to reduced acuity in rhythm perception. We also test key predictions 9 of the Preferred Period Hypothesis, which suggests that both perceptual and motor rhythmic 10 behaviors are biased towards a specific personal 'default' tempo. To this end, we tested a 11 several aspects of rhythmic behavior, including spontaneous motor tapping (SMT), perceptual 12 preferences (PPT) and synchronization-continuations tapping in a broad range of rhythms, 13 from sub-second to supra-second rates. Moreover, we evaluate the intra-subject consistency of 14 rhythmic preferences, as a means for testing the reality and reliability of personal 'default-15 rhythms'. 1617 Results indicate that individuals with ADHD are primarily challenged in producing self-18 generating isochronous motor rhythms, during both spontaneous and memory-paced tapping. 19 However, they nonetheless exhibit a high degree of flexibility in synchronizing to a broad range 20 of external rhythms. These findings suggest that auditory-motor entrainment is preserved in 21 ADHD, and that the presence of an external pacer allows overcoming the inherent difficulty in 22 Some have argued that these default motor preferences also extend to the realm of auditory 64 perception. Specifically, McAuley and colleagues (2006) report a one-to-one correspondence 65 between individual SMTs and the tempo that individuals indicate is most 'comfortable' for 66 them to listen to, labeled their Preferred Perceptual Tempo (PPT). This finding prompted 67 the Preferred Period Hypothesis, suggesting that individuals have a characteristic preferred 68 rhythm, that is generalized across perception and production, and can be attributed to a 69 common internal oscillator (McAuley 2010;Michaelis et al. 2014;Provasi et al. 2014; 70 Schwartze and Kotz 2015). Moreover, according to this perspective, preferred internal rhythms 71 also influence behavior, facilitating perceptual, motor and inter-personal synchronization at 72 rhythms near one's SMT (Styns and Leman 2007;Large and Gray 2015;Zamm et al. 2015). 73 However, to date, the consistency of 'default' motor and perceptual preferences within 74 individuals and the degree to which they indeed generalize across rhythmic behaviors, has been 75 somewhat debated (van der Wel et al. 2009;McPherson et al. 2018;Qi et al. 2019).

“…Value of the Data These data constitute a failure to replicate previous reports of a correspondence between motor and perceptual “most comfortable” rhythms [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] . They reveal substantial variability in spontaneous rhythmic behavior – both within and across modalities - which is often overlooked when reporting only summary metrics (means).…”

Testing the stability of ‘Default’ motor and auditory-perceptual rhythms–A replication failure dataset

Several studies have found that the motor rhythms that individuals produce spontaneously, for example during finger tapping, clapping or walking, are also rated perceptually as ‘very comfortable’ to listen to. This motivated proposal of the Preferred Period Hypothesis , suggesting that individuals have a characteristic preferred rhythm, that generalizes across perception and production. However, some of the experimental procedures used previously raise two methodological concerns: First , in many of these studies, the rhythms used for assessment of participants’ Perceptual Preferred Tempo (PPT) were tailored specifically around each participant's personal Spontaneous Motor Tempo (SMT). This may have biased results toward the central rhythm used, artificially increasing the similarity between spontaneous motor and auditory perceptual preferences. Second , a key prediction of the Preferred Period Hypothesis is that the same default rhythms are repeatedly found within-subject. However, measures of consistency are seldom reported, and increased within-subject variability has sometimes been used to exclude participants. The current study was an attempt to replicate reports of a correspondence between motor and perceptual rhythms, and closely followed previous experimental protocols by conducting three tasks: SMT was evaluated by instructing participants to tap ‘at their most comfortable rate’; PPT was assessed by asking participants to rate a 10 different rhythms according to how ‘comfortable’ they were; and motor-replication of rhythms was assessed using a Synchronization-Continuation task, over a wide range of rhythms. However, in contrast to previous studies, for all participants we use the same 10 perceptual rhythms in both the PPT and Synchronization-Continuation task, irrespective of their SMT. Moreover, we assessed and report measures of within- and between-trial consistency, in order to evaluate whether participants gave similar rating and produced similar motor rhythms across multiple sessions throughout the experiment. The data presented here fail to show any correlation between motor and perceptual preferences, nor do they support improved synchronization-continuation performance near an individual's so-called SMT or PPT. Rather, they demonstrate substantial within-subject variability in the spontaneous motor rhythms produced across repeated sessions, as well as their subjective rating of perceived rhythms. This report accompanies our article “Spontaneous and Stimulus-Driven Rhythmic Behaviors in ADHD Adults and Controls” [1] , and provided motivation and insight for modifying the procedures used for SMT and PPT evaluation, and their interpretation.

“…It is often performed as a finger tapping task in synchrony with an external rhythm, usually a steady metronome beat (Repp and Su, 2013). Along with the synchronization paradigm, synchronization-continuation tasks are often used to assess entrainment to an external rhythm (Flach, 2005;Ullén et al, 2008;Avanzino et al, 2013;McPherson et al, 2018).…”

Lowered Rhythm Tapping Ability in Patients With Constructional Apraxia After Stroke

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Rhythm tapping tasks are often used to explore temporal reproduction abilities. Many studies utilizing rhythm tapping tasks are conducted to evaluate temporal processing abilities with neurological impairments and neurodegenerative disorders. Among sensorimotor and cognitive disorders, rhythm processing abilities in constructional apraxia, a deficit in achieving visuospatial constructional activities, has not been evaluated. This study aimed to examine the rhythm tapping ability of patients with constructional apraxia after a stroke. Twenty-four patients were divided into two groups: with and without constructional apraxia. There were 11 participants in the constructional apraxia group and 13 in the without constructional apraxia group. The synchronization-continuation paradigm was employed in which a person performs a synchronized tapping activity to a metronome beat and continues tapping after the beat has stopped. For statistical analysis, a three-way mixed analysis of variance (2 × 2 × 3) was conducted. The factors were groups (with and without constructional apraxia), tapping tasks (synchronization and continuation), and inter-stimulus intervals (600, 750, and 1000 ms). A significant effect of group factor was found (F[1,132] = 16.62; p < 0.001). Patients in the without constructional apraxia group were able to more accurately reproduce intervals than those in the constructional apraxia group. Moreover, a significant effect of tapping tasks was found (F[1,132] = 8.22; p < 0.01). Intervals were reproduced more accurately for synchronization tasks than continuation tasks. There was no significant inter-stimulus interval effect. Overall, these results suggest that there might be a relation between temporal and spatial reproductions in a wide spectrum of processing levels, from sensory perception to cognitive function.
