Pitch and Time Processing in Speech and Tones: The Effects of Musical Training and Attention

Conclusion In general, this experiment shows that individuals with a better sense of pitch discrimination also have a better sense of timing discrimination in the auditory domain. In addition, although musicians perform better overall, these results do not support the idea that musicians have an added advantage for divided attention tasks. These findings serve to better understand how musical training and attention affect pitch and time processing in the context of speech and tones and may have applications in special populations.Supplemental Materialhttps://doi.org/10.23641/asha.5895997
