In the reading of music, the acquisition of pitch information depends primarily upon the spatial position of notes as well as upon an individual's spatial processing ability. This study investigated the relationship between the ability to read single notes and visual-spatial ability. Participants with high and low single-note reading abilities were differentiated based upon differences in musical notation-reading abilities and their spatial processing; object recognition abilities were then assessed. It was found that the group with lower note-reading abilities made more errors than did the group with a higher note-reading abilities in the mental rotation task. In contrast, there was no apparent significant difference between the two groups in the object recognition task. These results suggest that note-reading may be related to visual spatial processing abilities, and not to an individual's ability with object recognition.
在音乐阅读中，音高信息的获取主要依赖于音符的空间位置以及个体的空间处理能力。本研究调查了单个音符阅读能力与视觉空间能力之间的关系。参与者根据音乐记谱阅读能力和空间处理能力的差异被分为高和低单音符阅读能力组，然后评估他们的物体识别能力。结果发现，在心理旋转任务中，阅读能力较低的组比阅读能力较高的组犯了更多的错误。相比之下，两组在物体识别任务中没有明显的显著差异。这些结果表明，音符阅读可能与视觉空间处理能力有关，而与个体的物体识别能力无关。
