Results of the moderation analyses between musical activity and frontal GMV.
| Dependent variable | Independent variable | B | SE B | Beta | P-value | Total R2 (adj.) | |
| 1 | Global cognition | Music Activity × frontal GMV | 0.318 | 0.139 | 0.261 | 0.024*† | 0.332 (0.269) |
| 2 | Learning and Memory | Music Activity × frontal GMV | 0.102 | 0.132 | 0.092 | 0.441 | 0.263 (0.193) |
| 3 | Working Memory | Music Activity × frontal GMV | 0.432 | 0.141 | 0.348 | 0.003**† | 0.335 (0.273) |
| 4 | Executive Functions | Music Activity × frontal GMV | 0.278 | 0.145 | 0.228 | 0.058 | 0.273 (0.204) |
| 5 | Language | Music Activity × frontal GMV | 0.316 | 0.133 | 0.274 | 0.019*† | 0.320 (0.256) |
| 6 | Visuospatial | Music Activity × frontal GMV | 0.227 | 0.145 | 0.189 | 0.119 | 0.251 (0.180) |
Models adjusted for scanner site. Musical activity was included as binary predictor, dummy coded with musical activity = 1, no musical activity = 0. Frontal GMV was adjusted for total intracranial volume and mean centered. ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05. †p < 0.05 false discovery rate (FDR)-adjusted for statistical tests performed across cognitive domains. B, unstandardized coefficient; SE, standard error; Beta, standardized coefficient; R2, explained variance.
