They were significantly faster and showed a trend for higher accuracy compared to nonmusicians, which is in line with studies on increased pitch sensitivity for musicians in linguistic tasks ( Alexander et al., 2005 , Deguchi et al., 2012 , Maess et al., 2001 , Magne et al., 2006 , Schön et al., 2004 ).
