Abstract

Exploring non-linguistic predictors of phonological awareness, such as musical beat perception, is valuable for children who present with language difficulties and diverse support needs. Studies on the musical abilities of children on the autism spectrum show that they have average or above-average musical production and auditory processing abilities. This study aimed to explore the relationship between musical beat perception and phonological awareness skills of children on the autism spectrum with a wide range of cognitive abilities. A total of 21 autistic children between the ages of 6 to 11 years old (M = 8.9, SD = 1.5) with full scale IQs ranging from 52 to 105 (M = 74, SD = 16) completed a beat perception and a phonological awareness task. Results revealed that phonological awareness and beat perception are positively correlated for children on the autism spectrum. Findings lend support to the potential use of beat and rhythm perception as a screening tool for early literacy skills, specifically for phonological awareness, for children with diverse support needs as an alternative to traditional verbal tasks that tend to underestimate the potential of children on the autism spectrum.

自闭症儿童对音乐节拍的感知与语音技能之间的联系。

探索语音意识的非语言预测因素（如音乐节拍感知），对于有语言障碍和不同支持需求的儿童来说很有价值。对自闭症谱系儿童音乐能力的研究表明，他们的音乐制作和听觉处理能力处于平均水平或以上。本研究旨在探讨具有不同认知能力的自闭症谱系儿童的音乐节拍感知与语音意识技能之间的关系。共有 21 名年龄介于 6 至 11 岁（中=8.9，小=1.5）、全量表智商介于 52 至 105（中=74，小=16）之间的自闭症儿童完成了节拍感知和语音意识任务。结果显示，自闭症谱系儿童的语音意识和节拍感知呈正相关。研究结果支持将节拍和节奏感知作为早期识字技能（特别是语音意识）的筛查工具，以替代传统的口头任务，因为传统的口头任务往往会低估自闭症谱系儿童的潜力。

期刊介绍： The purposes of Child Neuropsychology are to: publish research on the neuropsychological effects of disorders which affect brain functioning in children and adolescents, publish research on the neuropsychological dimensions of development in childhood and adolescence and promote the integration of theory, method and research findings in child/developmental neuropsychology. The primary emphasis of Child Neuropsychology is to publish original empirical research. Theoretical and methodological papers and theoretically relevant case studies are welcome. Critical reviews of topics pertinent to child/developmental neuropsychology are encouraged. Emphases of interest include the following: information processing mechanisms; the impact of injury or disease on neuropsychological functioning; behavioral cognitive and pharmacological approaches to treatment/intervention; psychosocial correlates of neuropsychological dysfunction; definitive normative, reliability, and validity studies of psychometric and other procedures used in the neuropsychological assessment of children and adolescents. Articles on both normal and dysfunctional development that are relevant to the aforementioned dimensions are welcome. Multiple approaches (e.g., basic, applied, clinical) and multiple methodologies (e.g., cross-sectional, longitudinal, experimental, multivariate, correlational) are appropriate. Books, media, and software reviews will be published.
