Rhythm Memory has many uses beyond music. Though we measure it with an auditory test, the sense of rhythm is not a purely auditory aptitude; it seems to have applications in sports and movement-based fields along with several aspects of writing. Many forms of dance are easier and made more rewarding for those with a good sense of rhythm, as are other physical activities and sports. Timing and cadence in writing are made manifest in poetry, dialogue, and comedic performance. Public speaking could be another outlet for this sense of rhythm. A speaker who has paid attention not just to the information being delivered, but also to how it sounds to an audience may create a more dynamic and compelling speech.
