Two studies examined adult cochlear implant (CI) users' ability to match auditory rhythms occurring in music to visual rhythms occurring in dance (Cha Cha, Slow Swing, Tango and Jive). In Experiment 1, adults CI users (n = 10) and hearing controls matched a music excerpt to choreographed dance sequences presented as silent videos. In Experiment 2, participants matched a silent video of a dance sequence to music excerpts. CI users were successful in detecting timing congruencies across music and dance at well above-chance levels suggesting that they were able to process distinctive auditory and visual rhythm patterns that characterized each style. However, they were better able to detect cross-modal timing congruencies when the reference was an auditory rhythm than when the reference was a visual rhythm. Learning strategies that encourage cross-modal learning of musical rhythms may have applications in developing novel rehabilitative strategies to enhance music perception and appreciation outcomes of child implant users.
两项研究考察了成年人工耳蜗（CI）使用者将音乐中出现的听觉节奏与舞蹈（恰恰、慢摇、探戈和吉特巴）中出现的视觉节奏相匹配的能力。在实验1中，成年人工耳蜗使用者（n = 10）和听力正常的对照组将一段音乐节选与作为无声视频呈现的编排好的舞蹈序列进行匹配。在实验2中，参与者将一段舞蹈序列的无声视频与音乐节选进行匹配。人工耳蜗使用者能够成功地在远超随机水平的情况下检测出音乐和舞蹈之间的时间一致性，这表明他们能够处理每种风格所特有的独特听觉和视觉节奏模式。然而，当参考是听觉节奏时，他们比参考是视觉节奏时更能检测出跨模态时间一致性。鼓励对音乐节奏进行跨模态学习的学习策略可能在开发新的康复策略以提高儿童人工耳蜗使用者的音乐感知和欣赏效果方面有应用价值。
