Title Benefits of Music Training for Perception of Emotional Speech Prosody in Deaf Children With Cochlear Implants
520 3# - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc Objectives: Children who use cochlear implants (CIs) have characteristic<br/>pitch processing deficits leading to impairments in music perception<br/>and in understanding emotional intention in spoken language. Music<br/>training for normal-hearing children has previously been shown to benefit<br/>perception of emotional prosody. The purpose of the present study<br/>was to assess whether deaf children who use CIs obtain similar benefits<br/>from music training. We hypothesized that music training would lead<br/>to gains in auditory processing and that these gains would transfer to<br/>emotional speech prosody perception.<br/>Design: Study participants were 18 child CI users (ages 6 to 15).<br/>Participants received either 6 months of music training (i.e., individualized<br/>piano lessons) or 6 months of visual art training (i.e., individualized<br/>painting lessons). Measures of music perception and emotional speech<br/>prosody perception were obtained pre-, mid-, and post-training. The<br/>Montreal Battery for Evaluation of Musical Abilities was used to measure<br/>five different aspects of music perception (scale, contour, interval,<br/>rhythm, and incidental memory). The emotional speech prosody task<br/>required participants to identify the emotional intention of a semantically<br/>neutral sentence under audio-only and audiovisual conditions.<br/>Results: Music training led to improved performance on tasks requiring the<br/>discrimination of melodic contour and rhythm, as well as incidental memory<br/>for melodies. These improvements were predominantly found from<br/>mid- to post-training. Critically, music training also improved emotional<br/>speech prosody perception. Music training was most advantageous in<br/>audio-only conditions. Art training did not lead to the same improvements.<br/>Conclusions: Music training can lead to improvements in perception<br/>of music and emotional speech prosody, and thus may be an effective<br/>supplementary technique for supporting auditory rehabilitation following<br/>cochlear implantation.
