Selective Attention of Young Children to Unfamiliar Musical Stimuli

Abstract

dc:description

The purpose of this study was to investigate the modes of response of young children to unfamiliar musical stimuli. The specific problems were: (1) To what extent will the responses of the children contain evidence of selective attention to the musical elements of pitch, rhythm, and texture? (2) To what extent does repetition of stimuli affect the child's response? (3) To what extent do responses differ among 4, 5, 6, and 9 year old children?
