Enhanced Development of Auditory Change Detection in Musically Trained School-Aged Children: A Longitudinal Event-Related Potential Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Putkinen, Vesa; Tervaniemi, Mari; Saarikivi, Katri; Ojala, Pauliina; Huotilainen, Minna – Developmental Science, 2014
Adult musicians show superior auditory discrimination skills when compared to non-musicians. The enhanced auditory skills of musicians are reflected in the augmented amplitudes of their auditory event-related potential (ERP) responses. In the current study, we investigated longitudinally the development of auditory discrimination skills in…

Effects of Presentation Mode on Veridical and False Memory in Individuals with Intellectual Disability
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Carlin, Michael; Toglia, Michael P.; Belmonte, Colleen; DiMeglio, Chiara – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2012
In the present study the effects of visual, auditory, and audio-visual presentation formats on memory for thematically constructed lists were assessed in individuals with intellectual disability and mental age-matched children. The auditory recognition test included target items, unrelated foils, and two types of semantic lures: critical related…

Electrophysiological Evidence of Developmental Changes in the Duration of Auditory Sensory Memory.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gomes, Hilary; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1999
Investigated developmental change in duration of auditory sensory memory for tonal frequency by measuring mismatch negativity, an electrophysiological component of the auditory event-related potential that is relatively insensitive to attention and does not require a behavioral response. Findings among children and adults suggest that there are…

Auditory Attention Switching: A Developmental Study.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pearson, Deborah A.; Lane, David M. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1991
Studied the ability of 8- and 11-year olds, and college-age subjects, to allocate attention rapidly. Older subjects were better able to reallocate attention. The developmental change in the reallocation of attention appears to be continuous and quantitative. Improvement is linked to the ability to use active attentional strategies. (Author/GH)

The Development of Mental Models for Auditory Events: Relational Complexity and Discrimination of Pitch and Duration
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Stevens, Catherine; Gallagher, Melinda – British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2004
This experiment investigated relational complexity and relational shift in judgments of auditory patterns. Pitch and duration values were used to construct two-note perceptually similar sequences (unary relations) and four-note relationally similar sequences (binary relations). It was hypothesized that 5-, 8- and 11-year-old children would perform…

The Development of Rhythmic Attending in Auditory Sequences: Attunement, Referent Period, Focal Attending.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Drake, Carolyn; Jones, Mari Riess; Baruch, Clarisse – Cognition, 2000
Extends dynamic attending theory to developmental questions concerning tempo and time hierarchies. Compares performance of 4- to 10-year-olds, and adults on dynamic attending activities. Suggests that growth trends could be expressed in terms of listeners' engagement of slower attending oscillators with age and musical experience, accompanied by…

The Development of an Auditory Concept of Speed.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gatehouse, R. Wayne; Frankie, Gary H. – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1980
Elementary school students demonstrated a developmental trend in ability to judge speed solely on auditory cues. Second graders considered intensity cues relevant, and were most accurate on intensity shifts. Accuracy on frequency shifts increased across grades. Awareness of frequency and frequency-intensity relationships increased with age.…
