We did not observe a protective effect of the piano experience on consolidation: old participants showed a significant (F<sub>1,56</sub> = 28.51, p < .00001) reduction in offline improvement independent whether they were piano players or not. The error bars denote the standard error of the mean.</p> 2016-06-22 19:25:42 sequential finger-tapping motor task neurobiological schema approach offline memory consolidation Enhanced memory consolidation piano experience decline participant rescue memory consolidation sessions 24 hours motor Skills Enhance control experiment
