Individual scores of the congenital amusics and the controls for each of the individual tests of the Montreal Battery of Evaluation of Amusia (MBEA), as well as the global score (mean of the 6 subtests). Each test is scored on 30 points. The cut off on the global score (mean of the six subtests) is the criterion used for diagnosis of congenital amusia (Ayotte et al., 2002).
