| description | Research studies provide evidence for the facilitative effects
of musical and linguistic experience on lexical pitch learning.
However, the effect of interaction of linguistic and musical
pitch experience on lexical pitch processing is a matter of
ongoing research. In the current study, we sought to examine
the effect of combination of musical and linguistic pitch
experience on learning of novel lexical pitch. Using a 10-
session pseudoword-picture association training paradigm, we
compared the learning performance of musicians and nonmusicians
who either spoke a non-tone language, spoke one
tone language, or spoke two tone languages. Among the nontone
language speakers, we found that musicians showed
enhanced learning of novel lexical pitch as compared to nonmusicians.
In comparison, among the tone-language speakers,
we found no significant difference in the learning performance
of musicians and non-musicians no matter they spoke one or
more tone languages. We conclude that though musical
experience facilitates linguistic pitch learning, the effects of
combination of musical and linguistic pitch experience are not
additive i.e. possessing both types of pitch experience is no
better than possessing either one of them and knowing two
tone languages does not facilitate the learning of a new tone
language beyond the knowledge of one. |
