目的本研究的主要目的是调查3-6岁儿童对声音响度和音质感知的发展变化。第二个目的是评估的测试程序的联运优先寻找范式（IPLP）的声音知觉在年幼的children.MethodParticipants的研究分为两个年龄组：3- 4岁的孩子和5- 6岁的孩子。通过Zoom预约对儿童进行远程测试，并完成两项感知任务：（a）声音辨别和（B）声音识别。每个任务包括两个测试：一个声音的响度测试和声音质量test.Results5 - 6岁组的儿童比3- 4岁组的儿童更准确的辨别和识别声音之间的差异，响度和声音质量。在识别任务中使用的IPLP，被发现成功地检测到年龄组之间的差异的整体准确性和大部分的子水平的声音响度和声音quality.ConclusionsResults表明，儿童的能力，以区分和识别的声音响度和声音质量的差异随着年龄的增长而提高。研究结果还支持使用的IPLP作为一个有用的工具来研究幼儿的声音感知。
PurposeThe study's primary aim was to investigate developmental changes in the perception of vocal loudness and voice quality in children 3–6 years of age. A second aim was to evaluate a testing procedure—the intermodal preferential looking paradigm (IPLP)—for the study of voice perception in young children.MethodParticipants were categorized in two age groups: 3- to 4-year-olds and 5- to 6-year-olds. Children were tested remotely via a Zoom appointment and completed two perceptual tasks: (a) voice discrimination and (b) voice identification. Each task consisted of two tests: a vocal loudness test and a voice quality test.ResultsChildren in the 5- to 6-year-old group were significantly more accurate than children in the 3- to 4-year-old group in discriminating and identifying differences between voices for both loudness and voice quality. The IPLP, used in the identification task, was found to successfully detect differences between the age groups for overall accuracy and for most of the sublevels of vocal loudness and voice quality.ConclusionsResults suggest that children's ability to discriminate and identify differences in vocal loudness and voice quality improves with age. Findings also support the use of the IPLP as a useful tool to study voice perception in young children.
