Music training has traditionally been a fundamental component of children's education across several cultures. Moreover, music training has been hypothesized to enhance the development of executive functions and improve executive performance in children. In this systematic review, we analyze the available evidence of the effects of music training on executive function performance, evaluated using validated neuropsychologic batteries and classic tasks. To achieve this objective, we performed a systematic search in three databases (PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Scopus) and selected case-control or intervention studies conducted on children with neurotypical development. We analyzed 29 studies that met the inclusion criteria and observed significant heterogeneity among the music interventions and methods for assessing executive functions. The review of the available literature suggests a beneficial effect of music training in core executive function performance, primarily in inhibitory control, and to a lesser extent, in working memory and cognitive flexibility.
在多种文化中，音乐训练一直是儿童教育的一个基本组成部分。此外，据推测，音乐训练可以促进儿童执行功能的发展并提高其执行能力。在这项系统评价中，我们分析了音乐训练对执行功能表现影响的现有证据，这些证据是通过经过验证的神经心理学测试组合和经典任务进行评估的。为实现这一目标，我们在三个数据库（PubMed、Ovid MEDLINE和Scopus）中进行了系统检索，并选择了针对发育正常儿童开展的病例对照研究或干预研究。我们分析了29项符合纳入标准的研究，发现音乐干预措施和评估执行功能的方法之间存在显著异质性。对现有文献的综述表明，音乐训练对核心执行功能表现有有益影响，主要体现在抑制控制方面，在工作记忆和认知灵活性方面的影响较小。
