The detailed study of a patient who suffered from a severe amelodia without arhythmia as a consequence of bilateral temporal lobe damage revealed that the processing of melodic information is at least partially separable from the processing of rhythmic information. This dissociation was replicated across different sets of material, was supported by the presence of a reversed association, and was maintained in conditions that promote integration in the normal brain. These results argue against the view that melody and rhythm are treated as a unified dimension throughout processing. At the same time, they support the view that integration takes place after early separation of the two dimensions.
对一名因双侧颞叶损伤而患有严重旋律失认症但无心律失常的患者进行的详细研究表明，旋律信息的处理至少在一定程度上与节奏信息的处理是可分离的。这种分离在不同的材料组中都得到了重复，得到了反向关联的支持，并且在促进正常大脑整合的条件下得以维持。这些结果反对旋律和节奏在整个处理过程中被视为一个统一维度的观点。同时，它们支持这样一种观点，即这两个维度在早期分离之后才会发生整合。
