Turkey (Türkiye)399 participantsStarted 2024-09-16

Plain-language summary

This study examined whether repeating motor skill exercises at a consistent speed with music can improve decision-making and independent learning abilities in children aged 8-9 years. Children participated in either slow tempo, fast tempo, or no-music control exercise sessions. Music was used to help regulate tempo and attention, and exercises were designed to enhance timing, focus, and planning skills. The study measured cognitive outcomes using validated scales for independent learning and decision-making.
