“…Swartz et al 21 investigated auditory discrimination of music stimuli in patients with senile dementia of the Alzheimer type (SDAT). They reported that mean latency was longer and performance was poorer in SDAT subjects than in controls, but the patients showed surprising vigilance and mostly above‐chance performance.…”

Many nursing home patients with dementia suffer from symptoms of agitation (e.g. anxiety, shouting, irritability). This study investigated whether individualized music could be used as a nursing intervention to reduce such symptoms in four patients with severe dementia. The patients were video-recorded during four sessions in four periods, including a control period without music, two periods where individualized music was played, and one period where classical music was played. The recordings were analysed by systematic observations and the Facial Action Coding System. Two patients became calmer during some of the individualized music sessions; one patient remained sitting in her armchair longer, and the other patient stopped shouting. For the two patients who were most affected by dementia, the noticeable effect of music was minimal. If the nursing staff succeed in discovering the music preferences of an individual, individualized music may be an effective nursing intervention to mitigate anxiety and agitation for some patients.

Absolute pitch is a special ability which allows for special perceptual/cognitive strategies. Studies have shown differences in event-related scalp potentials between absolute-pitch (AP) and relative-pitch (RP) subjects of equal musical training. In this study, highly trained musicians (15 females/15 males) performed a melodic interval discrimination task, using intervals on-pitch in equal-tempered tuning (A4 = 440 Hz) and tuned a half-semitone sharp. Subjects identified target intervals (probability 0.2) in a series of 400 randomly transposed intervals. AP subjects were expected to perform differently across intonation conditions, whereas RP subjects were not. Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded from three midline sites and two lateral sites. ERPs were analyzed by principal component analysis of variance. Sex was also considered as an independent subject variable. Performance was not significantly different either by absolute pitch or sex. Reaction times did not reveal any significant interactions involving AP or sex, but showed a significant effect by response type (target/nontarget). Strong P3 activity appeared to the target melodic intervals regardless of subject group or intonation. PCA factors with maxima at 352, 511, and 709 ms were sensitive to task relevance. Males showed greater positivity than females along the midline. A significant intonation by response type by sex interaction indicated a greater spread of values for females than males, and greater similarity in response by sex for the sharp than the on-pitch intervals. AP subjects showed reduced P3 activity along the midline, but increased over lateral sites. In a difficult musical task, the ERPs were sensitive to the sex of the listeners, as well as to whether they had absolute pitch.

Although female/male cognitive differences have been studied for some time, little is known about such differences relative to music. Highly-trained musicians (15 females and 15 males) performed a memory task for musical timbre modeled after the missing-displaced visual object test known to favor female performance. Subjects were tested on memory for a timbre missing from a previously presented set of synthesized instrumental timbres, and a control series of white noise bursts at two different intensity levels. Subjects were given the missing-displaced visual object test and ERPs were recorded from three midline sites and two lateral sites. Waveforms were subjected to a principal component analysis and analysis of variance. Females and males performed equally well on both of the auditory series and the visual object test. Both auditory series elicited several ERP components: a strong early peak to the white noise, and both early (P3a) and late (P3b) peaks to the timbre series. PCA factor, maximum at 675 ms (P3b), showed a main effect for sex across both series with males > females. PCA factor, maximum at 336 ms (P3a), showed larger Fz to Pz differential for females than males for both auditory series. Females show a greater differentiation between targets and nontargets in the white noise series, suggesting greater sensitivity to changes in intensity. Interactions involving absolute pitch also appeared in the sensory processing time frames. Although the behavioral measures did not show significant sex differences, the ERP measures did show reliable task-related sex differences.
