Abstract

Infants and children are able to track statistical regularities in perceptual input, which allows them to acquire structural aspects of language and music, such as syntax. However, much more is known about the development of linguistic compared to musical syntax. In the present study, we examined 3.5-year-olds’ implicit knowledge of Western musical pitch structure using electroencephalography (EEG). Event-related potentials (ERPs) were measured while children listened to chord sequences that either 1) followed Western harmony rules, 2) ended on a chord that went outside the key, or 3) ended on an in-key but less expected chord harmonically. Whereas adults tend to show an early right anterior negativity (ERAN) in response to unexpected chords (Koelsch, 2009), 3.5-year-olds in our study showed an immature response that was positive rather than negative in polarity. Our results suggest that very young children exhibit implicit knowledge of the pitch structure of Western music years before they have been shown to demonstrate that knowledge in behavioral tasks.
3岁儿童按键与和声处理的电生理相关性
婴儿和儿童能够跟踪感知输入的统计规律,这使他们能够获得语言和音乐的结构方面,如语法。然而,与音乐语法相比,人们对语言学的发展了解得更多。在本研究中,我们使用脑电图(EEG)检查了3.5岁儿童对西方音高结构的内隐知识。当孩子们听和弦序列时,测量了事件相关电位(ERP),这些和弦序列要么1)遵循西方和声规则,要么2)在键外的和弦上结束,要么3)在键内但不太期望的和弦上和谐地结束。尽管成年人倾向于在对意外和弦的反应中表现出早期的右前负性(ERAN)(Koelsch,2009),但在我们的研究中,3.5岁的儿童表现出不成熟的反应,其极性是积极的,而不是消极的。我们的研究结果表明,很小的孩子在被证明在行为任务中表现出对西方音乐音高结构的内隐知识之前几年就表现出了这种知识。
