Landry also notes that, because reaction times naturally decline with age, playing an instrument might help fight some cognitive signs of aging and help older adults stay alert.
Landry还指出,随着年龄增长,大脑反应能力会自然退化,弹奏乐器能延缓认知老化,让老年人保持灵敏的反应能力。
It's too early to assume broader brain benefits beyond what the study showed, he says—although previous research has suggested a link between reaction time and cognitive function. A 2015 study also found that musical therapy (in that case, singing) boosted memory in people with dementia.
他还补充说,虽然之前的研究发现反应时间和认知功能之间有联系,但目前针对弹奏乐器对大脑的帮助还不能做进一步推断。一项2015年的研究也发现音乐疗法(比如唱歌)能有效帮助老年痴呆症患者改善记忆能力。
Landry's results, published in the journal Brain and Cognition, provide good context for further research.
Landry发表在《脑与认知》期刊的研究结果,为之后的研究提供了很好的背景。
"If we can link playing music, or any form of multisensory training, for that matter, with preventing cognitive decline in elder musicians," he says, "then it would provide good evidence for the helpfulness of such a training in a larger population."
“如果我们能找到演奏音乐或任何形式的多感官训练与减缓老年音乐家认知能力退化之间的联系,就能利用这种训练造福更多的人。”他说。
