Musical expertise and foreign speech perception
The aim of this experiment was to investigate the influence of musical expertise on the automatic perception of foreign syllables and harmonic sounds. Participants were Cuban students with high level of expertise in music or in visual arts and with the same level of general education and socio-economic background. We used a multi-feature Mismatch Negativity (MMN) design with sequences of either...
متن کاملHow musical expertise shapes speech perception: evidence from auditory classification images
It is now well established that extensive musical training percolates to higher levels of cognition, such as speech processing. However, the lack of a precise technique to investigate the specific listening strategy involved in speech comprehension has made it difficult to determine how musicians' higher performance in non-speech tasks contributes to their enhanced speech comprehension. The rec...
متن کاملRaters’ Perception and Expertise in Evaluating Second Language Compositions
The consideration of rater training is very important in construct validation of a writing test because it is through training that raters are adapted to the use of students’ writing ability instead of their own criteria for assessing compositions (Charney, 1984). However, although training has been discussed in the literature of writing assessment, there is little research regarding raters’ pe...
متن کاملMusical Expertise and Statistical Learning of Musical and Linguistic Structures
Adults and infants can use the statistical properties of syllable sequences to extract words from continuous speech. Here we present a review of a series of electrophysiological studies investigating (1) Speech segmentation resulting from exposure to spoken and sung sequences (2) The extraction of linguistic versus musical information from a sung sequence (3) Differences between musicians and n...
متن کاملRunning Head: GENERALITY AND SPECIFICITY IN MUSICAL EXPERTISE EFFECTS Generality and specificity in the effects of musical expertise on perception and cognition
Performing musicians invest thousands of hours becoming experts in a range of perceptual, attentional, and cognitive skills. The duration and intensity of musicians’ training – far greater than that of most educational or rehabilitation programs – provides a useful model to test the extent to which skills acquired in one particular context (music) generalize to different domains. Here, we asked...
