Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Asynchrony decreased across repetitions and the improvement was steeper for high-IC notes (repetition × IC interaction F(1,56585) = 136.76, p < 0.001). → Marc Deosdad-Díez & Josep Marco-Pallarés 2025

q3 · i? · causal · r2
LMM on synchronization-trial asynchrony across ten repetitions of each of nine rhythms with 70 participants. Asynchrony "decreased across repetitions (F(1,68) = 131.65"; the article also reports a repetition × IC interaction (F(1,56585) = 136.76, p < 0.001), with higher-IC notes showing steeper learning curves (Fig. 1a).
"As expected, asynchrony decreased across repetitions (F(1,68) = 131.65,p < 0.001), indicating that participants learnt to perform more accurately through the task."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Graphical spatial representations of rhythm timing reduce tapping asynchrony compared with categorical and meaningless visual cues — related
- Error Positivity amplitude increases with note information content and asynchrony, suggesting it signals event salience during rhythm production — related
- The information-content modulation of Error Negativity during synchronization disappears in reproduction trials, where only repetition and asynchrony modulate Ne — related
- During synchronization, Error Negativity is inversely related to note information content and larger only when errors are clear, consistent with precision-weighted prediction error — related
- Note-by-note information content increases tapping asynchrony during both synchronization and reproduction of rhythms — related
