(2014·皖南八校第一次联考)Recent rearch shows young children who take music lessons have better memories than their nonmusical peers.
梦见小兔子The rearch, published in the online edition of the journal Brain, showed that after one year of musical training, children did better in a memory test than tho who did not take music class.
“The rearch tells us that if you take music lessons your brain is getting wired up differently，” Laurel Trainor, professor of psychology at McMaster University, said.
“This is the first study to show that brain respons in young, musically trained and untrained children change differently over the cour of a year，” said Trainor.
Over a year they took four measurements in two groups of children aged between four and six — tho taking music lessons and tho taking no musical training outside school — and found developmental changes over periods as short as four months.
The children completed a music test in which they were asked to discriminate between harmonies, rhythms and melodies (旋律), and a memory test in which they had to listen to a ries of numbers, remember them and repeat them back.
Trainor said while previous studies have shown that older children given drama (戏剧) and painting lessons had greater improvements in IQ scores than children who didn't; children given music lessons did better than tho given drama.This is the first study to identify the effects in brainbad measurements in young children.
She said it was not that surprising that children studying music improved in musical listening skills more than children not studying music.
“On the other hand, it is very interesting that the children taking music lessons improved more on general memory skills that are correlated with nonmusical abilities such as literacy, verbal memory, visiospatial processing, mathematics and IQ，” she said.
