A direct comparison between the amusic and control group using an independent-samples t -test revealed a larger N1 response to negative words for amusic participants, M = −0.40, SE = 0.09, as compared to control participants, M = −0.14, SE = 0.11, at posterior electrode sites; however, this difference was only marginally significant, t (40) = 1.88, p = 0.07, d = 0.29.
