Scoping Review Dataset on Embodiment in Musical Skill Acquisition

37 studies on embodiment in musical skill acquisition are detailed, including metadata, participant characteristics, and results. The dataset was compiled by Laura Serra Marin for a scoping review following PRISMA guidelines and was last updated in April 2026. It includes both a structured review document and a cleaned Excel table used for statistical analysis in R.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlations between methodological_approaches and reported_conclusions across the 37 studies.
• Identify trends in participant_characteristics (e.g., age, skill level) for studies on musical embodiment.
• Compare experimental_designs and investigated_variables used in psychophysiological music performance research.
• Use study_metadata to map the evolution of research topics in music skill acquisition over time.

Limitations

• The dataset is small, covering only 37 studies, which limits statistical power for broad generalizations.
• Scope is limited to the specific topic of embodiment in musical skill acquisition, not general music performance.
• The total data size is 233.7 KB, indicating a very limited scope and detail per record.
