Musical improvisation enhances interpersonal coordination in subsequent conversation: Motor and speech evidence.

This study explored the effects of musical improvisation between dyads of same-sex strangers on subsequent behavioural alignment. Participants-all non-musicians-conversed before and after either improvising music together (Musical Improvisation-MI-group) or doing a motoric non-rhythmic cooperative t...
