We traced spatial, verbal and musical abilities through a seven-year period of adolescence. When we started our study, 60 boys had reached a mean age of 11.72, 60 girls were 11.52 on average. Menarche and mutation served as markers for maturation. We found that early, mid, and late maturers differed on spatial orientation and on tactile-visual discrimination as measured with the Witelson task. No differences between the maturational groups emerged on verbal fluency and on Wing's Standardized Tests of Musical Intelligence. At some stages, sex differences on spatial, verbal, and musical tests emerged, and disappeared at others. The sex differences in performance levels were not associated with a sex-specific relationship between maturation rate and performance levels. We found indications of the usefulness of sex hormone measurement in relation to cognitive and musical development in adolescence.
我们对青少年七年期间的空间、语言和音乐能力进行了追踪。开始研究时，60名男孩的平均年龄为11.72岁，60名女孩的平均年龄为11.52岁。月经初潮和青春期变化作为成熟的标志。我们发现，早熟、中熟和晚熟者在空间定向以及用威特尔森任务测量的触觉-视觉辨别方面存在差异。在语言流畅性和温氏音乐智力标准化测试中，成熟组之间没有差异。在某些阶段，空间、语言和音乐测试中出现了性别差异，而在其他阶段则消失了。表现水平上的性别差异与成熟率和表现水平之间的性别特异性关系无关。我们发现有迹象表明性激素测量对青少年认知和音乐发展有用。
