以普通话为第一语言的11名阿穆斯克人被试进行了双音辨别测试。此外，一个四音序列任务与一个额外的初始参考音符和一个最终返回到参考音符（即，AABA）来评估重复参考音符是否导致失音乐症个体的音高辨别的改善。研究结果表明，与11名对照组相比，音乐失乐症患者难以区分双音对和四音序列。在四音序列上，音乐组的表现并没有比基于他们在双音任务中的表现所预测的更好，这表明重复参考音符并没有帮助表现。研究结果表明，声调语言的经验可能不会促进细粒度的音高歧视的amusics谁说普通话作为他们的第一语言。
A GROUP OF 11 AMUSIC INDIVIDUALS WITH MANDARIN as their first language were tested on a two-tone discrimination task. In addition, a four-tone sequence task with an additional initial reference note and a final return to the reference note (i.e., AABA) was employed to assess if repeating the reference note resulted in an improvement of pitch discrimination for amusic individuals. The findings showed that the amusic participants had difficulty discriminating two-tone pairs and four-tone sequences relative to 11 control participants. The performance of the amusic group on the four-tone sequence was not better than that predicted based upon their performance during the two-tone task, indicating that repetition of the reference note did not aid performance. The findings suggest that tonal language experience may not facilitate fine-grained pitch discrimination for amusics who speak Mandarin Chinese as their first language.
