15位母亲中的每一位都被记录下来，为她4到7个月大的孩子唱一首她选择的歌曲，并单独唱同一首歌。成人评分者在区分婴儿指导和婴儿缺席的版本方面非常准确，前者被独立地评为比后者更有爱心。大多数歌曲都被归类为播放歌曲或摇篮曲。与婴儿缺席的版本相比，婴儿指导的播放歌曲被评为比婴儿指导的摇篮曲相对更有节奏。这些结果表明，播放歌曲和摇篮曲可能是不同的，用于传达不同的信息。婴儿的喜好进行了测试，三个播放歌曲和摇篮曲对优先寻找范式。在六对中的五对中，婴儿更喜欢婴儿指导的版本。此外，偏爱程度与成人对喜爱声调的评价相关。研究结果表明，母亲修改他们的歌声在婴儿的存在，婴儿参加这些变化，播放歌曲和摇篮曲可能是不同的音乐风格，在他们的节奏质量不同，和成人认为是一个充满爱的语气的声音是非常突出的婴儿。
Each of 15 mothers was recorded singing a song of her choice to her 4- to 7-month-old and singing the same song alone. Adult raters were very accurate at distinguishing infant-directed from infant-absent versions, and the former were independently rated as more loving than the latter. Most of the songs were consistently classified as either playsongs or lullabies. The infant-directed playsongs were rated as relatively more rhythmic than the infant-directed lullabies, in comparison to the infant-absent versions. These results suggest that playsongs and lullabies may be distinct and used to communicate different information. Infant preferences were tested for three playsong and three lullaby pairs in a preferential looking paradigm. Infants preferred the infant-directed over infant-absent versions for five of the six pairs. Furthermore, the degree of preference was correlated with the adult ratings of loving tone of voice. The results indicate that mothers modify their singing in the presence of their infants, that infants attend to these changes, that playsongs and lullabies are likely distinct musical styles differing in their rhythmic quality, and that what adults perceive to be a loving tone of voice is highly salient to infants.
