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? In synchronization trials, notes with higher information content were produced with higher asynchrony (F(1,56570) = 4482.4, p < 0.001). → Marc Deosdad-Díez & Josep Marco-Pallarés 2025
q3 i? In reproduction trials without auditory feedback, asynchrony increased with information content (F(1,67) = 587.5, p < 0.001). → Marc Deosdad-Díez & Josep Marco-Pallarés 2025 (2)

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Linear mixed-effect model on note-by-note asynchrony from 70 non-musicians synchronizing with rhythms, with information content, repetition and visual-cue group as factors. The model showed "Information content was associated with higher asynchrony overall".
"Information content was associated with higher asynchrony overall (F(1,56570) = 4482.4,p < 0.001)."

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Mixed-effect model of asynchrony in reproduction sequences produced without auditory feedback. Asynchrony "increased with information content (F(1,67) = 587.5" in the same model that showed a repetition effect.
"Linear mixed-effect model (Supplem entary Table 2) showed that asyn- chrony decreased with repetition (β = 0.003, F(1,65) = 36.56,p < 0.001) and increased with information content (F(1,67) = 587.5,p <0 . 0 0 1 )."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Graphical spatial representations of rhythm timing reduce tapping asynchrony compared with categorical and meaningless visual cues — related
- Unpredictable notes show the steepest learning improvements, with a repetition-by-information-content interaction on asynchrony — 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
- 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
