Technology-driven initiating actions influence movement patterns in HMEAYC musical activities.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study examines the integration of technology into the Holistic Music Educational Approach for Young Children (HMEAYC) by analyzing children's movement sequences during musical rhythm activities. Specifically, it investigates the effects of technology-enhanced music on children's initiating actions and movement patterns, comparing those with prior music experience to those without. A total of 75 children (43 boys and 32 girls), aged 3-6 years and enrolled in central Taiwan kindergartens, participated in the study. They were categorized into two clusters: Cluster 1 (n = 23) with minimal prior music exposure and Cluster 2 (n = 52) with previous musical experience. Researchers analyzed over 10 h of video recordings using a coding scheme that classified behaviors into six categories: Observation, Execution, Correct Performance, Abandonment, and Restart. Sequential behavior analysis revealed that children in Cluster 2 demonstrated significantly higher adaptability and reflective learning, showing more effective transitions, particularly from Observation to Execution and from Execution to Correct Performance. In contrast, Cluster 1 children exhibited limited behavioral flexibility, frequently repeating actions without evident improvements. Individual Performance (IP) did not manifest a statistically significant disparity among the clusters; nevertheless, a trend-level variation was detected. This indicates a plausible differentiation in children's independent rhythmic execution, which necessitates additional inquiry. These findings suggest that technology-integrated HMEAYC enhances young learners' engagement and adaptability. Future studies should explore targeted interventions to support children with minimal musical experience and conduct longitudinal research to assess the long-term cognitive and social impacts of technology-enhanced music education.
