Executive functions is a crucial ability in the early development of preschool children. While numerous studies have found that music training has a favorable effect on children's executive functions, there is a lack of a consistent perspective on this topic, particularly with regard to the dose-response relationship.
Systematic searches were conducted of Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. A random-effects meta-analysis was used to compute standardized mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
In all, 10 studies were included in the meta-analysis, in which children's music training groups showed significantly improved inhibitory control (SMD = 0.38, 95% CI: 0.16-0.6), working memory (SMD = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.16-0.54), and cognitive flexibility (SMD = 0.23, 95% CI: 0.04-0.42) in comparison with control groups. Subgroup analyses indicated significant improvements relative to the control groups for inhibitory control following music training having a duration of ≥12 weeks (SMD = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.22-0.8), occurring ≥3 times per week (SMD = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.2-0.75), and lasting 20-30 min per session (SMD = 0.42, 95% CI: 0.2-0.63). Significant improvements were seen for working memory following music training having a duration of ≥12 weeks (SMD = 0.42, 95% CI: 0.18-0.65), occurring <3 times per week (SMD = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.06-0.93), occurring ≥3 times per week (SMD = 0.28, 95% CI:0.1-0.47), and lasting 20-30 min per session (SMD = 0.39, 95% CI: 0.16-0.54). Music training significantly improved cognitive flexibility following training having a duration of ≥12 weeks (SMD = 0.22, 95% CI: 0.04-0.41), occurring ≥3 times per week (SMD = 0.19, 95% CI: 0.0-0.39), and lasting >40 min per session (SMD = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.22-1.26).
Music training has a positive effect on inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility in preschool children aged 3-6 years. This effect is influenced by certain training factors, including the duration of the intervention period, frequency per week, and length of each session.

执行功能是学龄前儿童早期发展中的一项关键能力。虽然众多研究发现音乐训练对儿童的执行功能有积极影响,但在这个问题上缺乏一致的观点,特别是在剂量反应关系方面。
对科学网、PubMed、Scopus和中国知网进行了系统检索。采用随机效应荟萃分析来计算标准化均数差(SMD)和95%置信区间(CI)。
荟萃分析共纳入10项研究,其中儿童音乐训练组在抑制控制(SMD = 0.38,95% CI:0.16 - 0.6)、工作记忆(SMD = 0.35,95% CI:0.16 - 0.54)和认知灵活性(SMD = 0.23,95% CI:0.04 - 0.42)方面与对照组相比有显著改善。亚组分析表明,与对照组相比,音乐训练持续时间≥12周(SMD = 0.51,95% CI:0.22 - 0.8)、每周进行≥3次(SMD = 0.48,95% CI:0.2 - 0.75)、每次持续20 - 30分钟(SMD = 0.42,95% CI:0.2 - 0.63)时,抑制控制有显著改善。音乐训练持续时间≥12周(SMD = 0.42,95% CI:0.18 - 0.65)、每周进行次数<3次(SMD = 0.49,95% CI:0.06 - 0.93)、每周进行≥3次(SMD = 0.28,95% CI:0.1 - 0.47)、每次持续20 - 30分钟(SMD = 0.39,95% CI:0.16 - 0.54)时,工作记忆有显著改善。音乐训练持续时间≥12周(SMD = 0.22,95% CI:0.04 - 0.41)、每周进行≥3次(SMD = 0.19,95% CI:0.0 - 0.39)、每次持续>40分钟(SMD = 0.74,95% CI:0.22 - 1.26)时,认知灵活性有显著改善。
音乐训练对3 - 6岁学龄前儿童的抑制控制、工作记忆和认知灵活性有积极影响。这种影响受某些训练因素的影响,包括干预期的持续时间、每周的频率和每次训练的时长。
