- Title
Contributions of Experience to the Development of Musical Processing in Infancy.

- Abstract
Full-term infants' performance in detection of melodic alterations appeared to be influenced by perceptual experience from 6 months to 1 year of age, and an experiment with infants born prematurely supported the hypothesis that experience affects music processing in infancy. These findings suggest parallel developmental tendencies in the perception of music and speech that may reflect general acquisition of perceptual abilities for processing of complex auditory patterns. This acquisition may contribute to the cultural enfranchisement of infants through perceptual experience.
