Children's Discrimination of Melodic Intervals.
Schellenberg, E. Glenn; Trehub, Sandra E.
Developmental Psychology, v32 n6 p1039-50 Nov 1996
Adults and children listened to tone sequences and were required to detect changes either from intervals with simple frequency ratios to intervals with complex ratios or vice versa. Adults performed better on changes from simple to complex ratios than on the reverse changes. Similar performance was observed for 6-year olds who had never taken music lessons. (BC)
