Over the recent decades, there has been a growing research interest to understand the neural mechanisms related to music processing and cognition. One question has attracted much attention, that is, whether early music training experience benefits language learning. After much converging cross-sectional evidence suggesting benefits in speech processing in individuals with intensive early music training experience, now more highly controlled randomized experiments are emerging to better establish the causal relationship as well as to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
