“…This may indicate a lack of improvement in divided attention. This result is also reflected in another study investigating music-based cognitive rehabilitation [66] in which divided attention tasks were described as more difficult and measures did not reveal improvement while other forms of attention did. Depending on the ABI lesion site(s) and other factors, one form of attention may be more difficult to remediate than another or may require more treatment time.…”

“…More treatment time may be required to observe results or this form of attention may be more difficult to remediate for this individual. Due to the results of this study and those of Knox et al [66], future studies might investigate and compare results of remediation of various forms of attention.…”

“…Knox, R., Yokota-Adachi, H., Kershner, J., and Jutai, J. [66] investigated the use of music-based training to address attention deficit in five adolescents following an acquired brain injury. The authors developed music-based attention tasks, using pre-recorded music, based on Sohlberg and Mateer's [63] Attention Processing Training (APT) model.…”

The Use of Therapeutic Music Training to Remediate Cognitive Impairment Following an Acquired Brain Injury: The Theoretical Basis and a Case Study

Cognitive impairment is the most common sequelae following an acquired brain injury (ABI) and can have profound impact on the life and rehabilitation potential for the individual. The literature demonstrates that music training results in a musician’s increased cognitive control, attention, and executive functioning when compared to non-musicians. Therapeutic Music Training (TMT) is a music therapy model which uses the learning to play an instrument, specifically the piano, to engage and place demands on cognitive networks in order to remediate and improve these processes following an acquired brain injury. The underlying theory for the efficacy of TMT as a cognitive rehabilitation intervention is grounded in the literature of cognition, neuroplasticity, and of the increased attention and cognitive control of musicians. This single-subject case study is an investigation into the potential cognitive benefit of TMT and can be used to inform a future more rigorous study. The participant was an adult male diagnosed with cognitive impairment as a result of a severe brain injury following an automobile accident. Pre- and post-tests used standardized neuropsychological measures of attention: Trail Making A and B, Digit Symbol, and the Brown– Peterson Task. The treatment period was twelve months. The results of Trail Making Test reveal improved attention with a large decrease in test time on both Trail Making A (−26.88 s) and Trail Making B (−20.33 s) when compared to normative data on Trail Making A (−0.96 s) and Trail Making B (−3.86 s). Digit Symbol results did not reveal any gains and indicated a reduction (−2) in free recall of symbols. The results of the Brown–Peterson Task reveal improved attention with large increases in the correct number of responses in the 18-s delay (+6) and the 36-s delay (+7) when compared with normative data for the 18-s delay (+0.44) and the 36-s delay (−0.1). There is sparse literature regarding music based cognitive rehabilitation and a gap in the literature between experimental research and clinical work. The purpose of this paper is to present the theory for Therapeutic Music Training (TMT) and to provide a pilot case study investigating the potential efficacy of TMT to remediate cognitive impairment following an ABI.

“…Numerous research studies have addressed the effectiveness of music therapy programs on the physical, cognitive, communication and emotional needs of clients with TBI (Baker, 2000(Baker, , 2001a(Baker, , 2001bBaker & Roth, 2004;Baker & Wigram, 2004;Baker, Wigram, & Gold, in press;Cohen, 1988;Durham, 1994;Gervin, 1991;Hurt, Rice, McIntosh, & Thaut, 1998;Knox, Yokota-Adachi, Kershner, & Jutai, 2003;Kennelly & Brien-Elliott, 2001;Kennelly, Hamilton, & Cross, 2001;Tamplin, 2000). The advantage of using music as a therapeutic medium in neurological rehabilitation is that music is processed diffusely in the brain and uses different neural pathways than verbal processing (Iwaki, Hayashi, & Hori, 1997;Liegeois-Chauvel, Peretz, Babai, Laguitton, & Chauvel, 1998;Peretz, 1990;Peretz & Kolinsky, 1993;Platel et al, 1997).…”

Adjusting to Change Through Song: Themes in Songs Written by Clients With Traumatic Brain Injury

T he study aimed to identify themes in songs written by clients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Lyrics (1834) from 82 songs written by 11 female and 21 male clients aged between 5 and 60 years were categorised into 8 main themes and 24 subcategories. Incidence of subcategories and themes were calculated. Selfreflections and messages were the most frequent themes portrayed within songs. Memories and reflections about significant others were also frequently communicated. It was noticeable that clients felt safer to communicate thoughts and feelings about the past and present but were less inclined to confront the future.

The effect of music on accuracy in the Stroop test

First introduced by Frances Raucher, The Mozart Effect is the idea that there is a transient impact of music listening on spatial-temporal processing. Researchers have found considerable merit to investigate the phenomena. The field has moved beyond the original claims of the Mozart Effect, with the arousal−mood hypothesis as one dominant interpretation. The hypothesis postulates that a modest increase in performance while listening to pleasant, energetic music is understood as a transient consequence of changes in mood and arousal. Therefore, the "Mozart Effect" can influence learning outcomes. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of music through the arousal-and-mood hypothesis by using the Stroop task. Subjects were randomly assigned to three conditions Mozart (positive), rock (negative), or no music (control).While working on the stroop task. Participants in all three conditions were assessed with an accuracy score. The results showed that both positively and negatively arousing music enhanced test scores. My study showed that both classical music and rock music had an effect in my experiment. Further studies should be explored if the enhanced cognitive ability can be used for therapeutic purposes.
