To examine the ability of congenitally deaf children to recognize music from incidental exposure and the relations among age at implantation, music listening, and word recognition.
Seventeen child implant users who were 4 to 8 yr of age were tested on their recognition and liking of musical excerpts from their favorite television programs. They were also assessed on open-set recognition of three-syllable words. Their parents completed a questionnaire about the children's musical activities.
Children identified the musical excerpts at better than chance levels, but only when they heard the original vocal/instrumental versions. Children's initiation of music listening at home was associated with younger ages at implantation and higher word recognition scores.
Child implant users enjoy music more than adult implant users. Moreover, younger age at implantation increases children's engagement with music, which may enhance their progress in other auditory domains.
研究先天性失聪儿童通过偶然接触识别音乐的能力,以及植入年龄、音乐聆听与单词识别之间的关系。
对17名4至8岁的儿童植入用户进行测试,了解他们对最喜欢的电视节目的音乐片段的识别和喜好程度。还对他们进行了三音节单词的开放式识别评估。他们的父母填写了一份关于孩子音乐活动的问卷。
儿童识别音乐片段的能力高于随机水平,但只有在听到原始的声乐/器乐版本时才如此。儿童在家中开始听音乐与植入时年龄较小和单词识别得分较高有关。
儿童植入用户比成人植入用户更喜欢音乐。此外,植入时年龄较小会增加儿童对音乐的参与度,这可能会促进他们在其他听觉领域的进步。
