“…One might then imagine that what drives interactions between musical and linguistic structural processing is simply sensory attention (Poulin-Charronnat et al, 2005). This account is supported by demonstrations that the effects of many types of harmonic structural manipulations can be explained in terms of plausible sensory mechanisms (Collins, Tillmann, Barrett, Delbé, & Janata, 2014) and that harmonic manipulations can influence the attention devoted to concurrent non-musical (and non-linguistic) tasks (e.g., Escoffier & Tillmann, 2008).…”

“…First, non-structural musical manipulations of timbre or amplitude -investigated as controls for attentional capture -do not interact with linguistic syntactic or semantic manipulations Fiveash & Pammer, 2014;Koelsch et al, 2005b;Slevc et al, 2009). Second, although semantically surprising words presumably also capture attention, manipulations of harmonic structure have generally not been found to interact with semantic unexpectancy (Besson, Faïta, Peretz, Bonnel, & Requin, 1998;Bonnel, Faïta, Peretz, & Besson, 2001;Hoch et al, 2011;Koelsch et al, 2005b;Perruchet & Poulin-Charronnat, 2013;Slevc et al, 2009; but see Poulin-Charronnat et al, 2005;Steinbeis & Koelsch, 2008). Thus, neither processes specific to syntactic processing nor general attentional mechanisms seem to adequately predict when musical and linguistic parsing do and do not interact.…”

“…This type of sentence is analogous to a syntactic garden path in the sense that a previous interpretation must be revised (as bug actually turns out to be referring to eavesdropping equipment), however it differs in that this revision is-critically-not structural in nature. This interaction between a harmonic manipulation and a non-structural manipulation in language suggests that shared integration resources between music and language are not limited to syntax per se (see also Poulin-Charronnat, Bigand, Madurell, & Peereman, 2005;Steinbeis & Koelsch, 2008).…”

Processing structure in language and music: a case for shared reliance on cognitive control

The relationship between structural processing in music and language has received increasing interest in the last several years, spurred by the influential Shared Syntactic Integration Resource Hypothesis (SSIRH;Patel, 2003). According to this resource-sharing framework, music and language rely on separable syntactic representations but recruit shared cognitive resources to integrate these representations into evolving structures. The SSIRH is supported by findings of interactions between structural manipulations in music and language. However, other recent evidence suggests that such interactions can also arise with non-structural manipulations, and some recent neuroimaging studies report largely non-overlapping neural regions involved in processing musical and linguistic structure. These conflicting results raise the question of exactly what shared (and distinct) resources underlie musical and linguistic structural processing. This paper suggests that one shared resource is prefrontal cortical mechanisms of cognitive control, which are recruited to detect and resolve conflict that occurs when expectations are violated and interpretations must be revised. By this account, musical processing involves not just the incremental processing and integration of musical elements as they occur, but also the incremental generation of musical predictions and expectations, which must sometimes be overridden and revised in light of evolving musical input.

“…"Attentional energy" has subsequently been interpreted as referring to general attention. As a result, the entrainment of such general attention as described by DAT was invoked to explain how accents in a task-irrelevant auditory stimulus can affect visual (Bolger, Coull, & Schön, 2014Escoffier, Sheng, & Schirmer, 2010;Escoffier & Tillmann, 2008;Miller, Carlson, & McAuley, 2013), auditory (Bolger et al, 2014(Bolger et al, , 2013, linguisticsyllabic (Brochard, Tassin, & Zagar, 2013), and linguisticsemantic processing (Poulin-Charronnat, Bigand, Madurell, & Peereman, 2005).

Entrainment to an auditory signal: Is attention involved?

Many natural auditory signals, including music and language, change periodically. The effect of such auditory rhythms on the brain is unclear however. One widely held view, dynamic attending theory, proposes that the attentional system entrains to the rhythm and increases attention at moments of rhythmic salience. In support, 2 experiments reported here show reduced response times to visual letter strings shown at auditory rhythm peaks, compared with rhythm troughs. However, we argue that an account invoking the entrainment of general attention should further predict rhythm entrainment to also influence memory for visual stimuli. In 2 pseudoword memory experiments we find evidence against this prediction. Whether a pseudoword is shown during an auditory rhythm peak or not is irrelevant for its later recognition memory in silence. Other attention manipulations, dividing attention and focusing attention, did result in a memory effect. This raises doubts about the suggested attentional nature of rhythm entrainment. We interpret our findings as support for auditory rhythm perception being based on auditory-motor entrainment, not general attention entrainment. Keywords: attention, entrainment, rhythm, memory, word memorySupplemental materials: http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/xge0000246.suppMany natural auditory signals change periodically, such as cricket chirps, bird song, and human speech and music. Many nonhuman animals have been found to use auditory periodicities to entrain their motor behavior to an underlying beat (Schachner, Brady, Pepperberg, & Hauser, 2009). What is the effect of auditory temporal regularities on humans? One widely influential theory suggests that the fluctuations inherent in "attentional energy" are affected. According to this dynamic attending theory (DAT; Jones, Boltz, & Kidd, 1982;Large & Jones, 1999), rhythmic perceptual input leads to the optimal allocation of attention: attentional fluctuations peak at the right moment when important input is expected. These attentional dynamics are crucial for music (Jones & Boltz, 1989) and speech comprehension (Pitt & Samuel, 1990). In the present experiments we investigate whether an auditory rhythm indeed affects attention, an effect which should be visible on a variety of tasks. To foreshadow our results, we find an effect for entrainment during immediate judgment tasks, but no effect for memory tasks. These findings suggest that auditory entrainment is actually quite limited. We propose that rhythmic entrainment may not affect general attention as suggested by the dominant interpretation of DAT, but instead results from auditory-motor entrainment.The DAT has been very influential as evidenced by more than 800 citations for two key papers each (per a Google Scholar search in March 2016; Jones & Boltz, 1989;Large & Jones, 1999). One behavioral demonstration of auditory entrainment is reported by Bolger, Trost, & Schön (2013). They asked participants to listen to a simple rhythm while performing a simple visual judgment task in which participants are a...
