The Seashore Rhythm Test30,31 was used to assess the participants’ perception of auditory rhythm. The test requires participants to discriminate between like and unlike pairs of simple musical rhythms. This assessment was used to ensure that all participants included in the analysis fell within the normal range in terms of rhythm perception. Furthermore, the test is considered a useful tool for examining concentration and tracking abilities, meaning that poor performance may reflect deficient rhythm perception and/or tracking abilities32. Both rhythm perception abilities (detect rhythm violation) and tracking abilities (sustained selective attention) were crucial in the current study. The range of possible raw scores is from 0 to 30.
