8/ Surprisingly, the type of rhythm (music vs. metronome) didn’t affect performance much. The real driver was the person: their motor control, attention, memory, and musical background.

7/ Those with prior Musical training had more consistently timed movement. Enjoyment of music predicted stronger tapping, especially under cognitive load. Your background and engagement with music matter.

5/ Short answer is Yes. We found that individual differences predicted how consistently and forcefully people tapped, both when tapping alone and while dual tasking. That tells us these traits matter in real-world contexts.

4/ We also tested their cognitive and motor abilities: attention, memory, inhibition, motor control, and looked at their musical training and enjoyment.

Could these traits explain tapping performance?

3/ We recruited 50 healthy adults to tap their fingers in time with either a simple metronome or complex music. Both had the same steady beat. They tapped alone and while doing a working memory task (dual task).
