Fig. 2: Impact of aging, education, musical training and WM on the recognition of musical sequences.
From: Age-related neural changes underlying long-term recognition of musical sequences
a Raincloud plots show the overlapping distributions and normalised data points of both age groups with regards to the recognition of the previously memorised and novel (NT1 and NT3) musical sequences. Boxplots show the median and interquartile (IQR, 25–75%) range, whiskers depict the 1.5*IQR from the quartile. Each dot corresponds to the number of correct responses (top plot) or the mean reaction time (bottom plot) of each participant (n = 76). The plot above refers to the number accuracy in the task, while the bottom plot to the reaction times. b Correlation matrix between memorised, NT1, NT3 (number of correct responses, top plot, and reaction times, bottom plot), years of education, WM, years of musical training. Significant correlations are indicated by the stars (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001).
