While previous research has investigated the relationship either between language and music processing or between language and arithmetic processing, the present study investigated the relationship between music and arithmetic processing. Rule-governed number series, with the final number being a correct or incorrect series ending, were visually presented in synchrony with musical sequences, with the final chord functioning as the expected tonic or the less-expected subdominant chord (i.e., tonal function manipulation). Participants were asked to judge the correctness of the final number as quickly and accurately as possible. The results revealed an interaction between the processing of series ending and the processing of the task-irrelevant chords' tonal function, thus suggesting that music and arithmetic processing share cognitive resources. These findings are discussed in terms of general temporal and structural integration resources for linguistic and non-linguistic rule-governed sequences.
虽然先前的研究已经考察了语言与音乐加工之间的关系，或者语言与算术加工之间的关系，但本研究考察了音乐与算术加工之间的关系。规则支配的数字序列，其最后一个数字是正确或不正确的序列结尾，与音乐序列同步以视觉方式呈现，最后一个和弦作为预期的主音或较不预期的下属和弦（即调性函数操纵）。要求参与者尽快且准确地判断最后一个数字的正确性。结果揭示了序列结尾的加工与任务无关和弦的调性函数加工之间的相互作用，从而表明音乐和算术加工共享认知资源。这些发现是根据语言和非语言规则支配序列的一般时间和结构整合资源来讨论的。
