Abstract

Previous research found that musicians often outperform non-musicians in speech perception. However, the exact mechanism underlying the musicians' advantage is equivocal. This study aimed to investigate the pathway(s) between musicianship and speech perception. Specifically, the study examined the mediating role of auditory sensitivity and executive function in the relation between musicianship and speech perception. A total of 136 Cantonese-speaking adults were recruited. Participants completed a series of tests assessing their musicianship, auditory sensitivity, executive function, and speech perception. The findings showed that auditory sensitivity mediates the effect of musicianship on speech perception, whereas executive function does not serve as a significant mediator.

乐感与言语感知的关系：听觉敏感性和执行功能的中介作用。

先前的研究发现，音乐家在语言感知方面的表现往往优于非音乐家。然而，音乐家的优势背后的确切机制尚不明确。本研究旨在探讨音乐能力与语言感知之间的关系。具体而言，本研究考察了听觉敏感性和执行功能在乐感与言语感知关系中的中介作用。调查共招募了136名说粤语的成年人。参与者完成了一系列测试，评估他们的音乐能力、听觉敏感度、执行功能和语言感知能力。结果表明，听觉敏感性在音乐能力对言语感知的影响中起中介作用，而执行功能在言语感知中不起显著中介作用。

期刊介绍： Promoting the interests of scientific psychology and its researchers, QJEP, the journal of the Experimental Psychology Society, is a leading journal with a long-standing tradition of publishing cutting-edge research. Several articles have become classic papers in the fields of attention, perception, learning, memory, language, and reasoning. The journal publishes original articles on any topic within the field of experimental psychology (including comparative research). These include substantial experimental reports, review papers, rapid communications (reporting novel techniques or ground breaking results), comments (on articles previously published in QJEP or on issues of general interest to experimental psychologists), and book reviews. Experimental results are welcomed from all relevant techniques, including behavioural testing, brain imaging and computational modelling. QJEP offers a competitive publication time-scale. Accepted Rapid Communications have priority in the publication cycle and usually appear in print within three months. We aim to publish all accepted (but uncorrected) articles online within seven days. Our Latest Articles page offers immediate publication of articles upon reaching their final form. The journal offers an open access option called Open Select, enabling authors to meet funder requirements to make their article free to read online for all in perpetuity. Authors also benefit from a broad and diverse subscription base that delivers the journal contents to a world-wide readership. Together these features ensure that the journal offers authors the opportunity to raise the visibility of their work to a global audience.
