Although there has been a long history of attributing different types and degrees of musical sensitivity to individuals with handicaps, actual documentation of the distribution and nature of musical aptitude is sparse. There is almost no normative information about the relative importance of various personal characteristics associated with disability, such as diagnostic category. We also know little about the relative aptitude for different musical components, especially melody and harmony. Directions for future research were suggested.
尽管长期以来人们一直认为残障人士具有不同类型和程度的音乐敏感性，但关于音乐天赋的分布和本质的实际文献却很稀少。几乎没有关于与残疾相关的各种个人特征（如诊断类别）相对重要性的规范性信息。我们对不同音乐元素，尤其是旋律与和声的相对天赋也知之甚少。文中还提出了未来研究的方向。
