Studies of rhythm processing and of reward have progressed separately, with little connection between the two. However, consistent links between rhythm and reward are beginning to surface, with research suggesting that synchronization to rhythm is rewarding, and that this rewarding element may in turn also boost this synchronization. The current mini review shows that the combined study of rhythm and reward can be beneficial to better understand their independent and combined roles across two central aspects of cognition: 1) learning and memory, and 2) social connection and interpersonal synchronization; which have so far been studied largely independently. From this basis, it is discussed how connections between rhythm and reward can be applied to learning and memory and social connection across different populations, taking into account individual differences, clinical populations, human development, and animal research. Future research will need to consider the rewarding nature of rhythm, and that rhythm can in turn boost reward, potentially enhancing other cognitive and social processes.
节奏处理和奖赏方面的研究一直是分开进行的，两者之间联系甚少。然而，节奏与奖赏之间持续存在的联系正开始显现出来，研究表明与节奏同步是有回报的，而且这种奖赏因素反过来可能还会促进这种同步。当前的这篇小型综述表明，对节奏和奖赏进行联合研究有助于更好地理解它们在认知的两个核心方面所起的独立和联合作用：1）学习与记忆，以及2）社会联系和人际同步；而迄今为止，对这两个方面的研究在很大程度上是相互独立的。在此基础上，本文探讨了节奏与奖赏之间的联系如何能够应用于不同人群的学习与记忆以及社会联系，同时考虑到个体差异、临床人群、人类发展和动物研究。未来的研究将需要考虑节奏的奖赏性质，以及节奏反过来可以增强奖赏，这有可能提升其他认知和社会过程。
