Discrimination of Pitch Direction by Preschool Children with Verbal and Nonverbal Tasks.
Webster, Peter R.; Schlentrick, Kathy
Journal of Research in Music Education, v30 n3 p151-61 Fall 1982
Describes a study which investigated the abilities of four- and five- year-old children to discriminate pitch direction using one of three modes of response: verbal, gestural, or performance-based. The results showed that nonverbal, performance-based response modes are the most natural way for young children to react to pitch direction. (Author/RM)
