A meta-analysis: Does music really improve intelligence?

We saw that experiments comparing the intelligence of musicians and nonmusicians show an advantage of the first in comparison to the latter, an advantage that is clearer at small ages.

We also saw that we should trust experimental studies more and that some of these experimental studies show an advantage of music training in comparison to other types of training. So does playing an instrument make you a smarter person?

In this video, we’ll see that some review papers called meta-analyses suggest that training in music may not be as good as we may hope.
