Twelve college students learned to tact the names of notes and rhythms and play them when presented with compound stimuli (visuals of notes and rhythms on a musical staff). In Experiment 1, we assessed generalization by presenting novel notes, rhythms, and compound stimuli not previously paired together. In the second experiment, we added a metronome that played at 60 beats per minute in all conditions for 3 out of 6 participants to ensure consistent tempo. Across both experiments, participants passed almost all posttests with the exception of tacting and playing in the presence of sound clips. Our data suggest that matrix training is an effective procedure to teach music skills to college students.
十二名大学生学习在呈现复合刺激（乐谱上的音符和节奏的视觉效果）时，用手势表示音符和节奏的名称并演奏出来。在实验 1 中，我们通过呈现以前未配对在一起的新音符、节奏和复合刺激来评估泛化。在第二个实验中，我们为 6 名参与者中的 3 名添加了节拍器，以 60 拍每分钟的速度在所有条件下演奏，以确保节奏一致。在这两个实验中，除了在声音片段存在的情况下进行发音和演奏之外，参与者几乎通过了所有的后测。我们的数据表明，矩阵训练是向大学生教授音乐技能的有效方法。
