经过几年的乐器练习，音乐家在处理音调或音色等听觉特征方面获得了很好的专业知识。在这里，我们比较了音乐家和非音乐家在两个音色辨别任务中的表现：一个使用乐器音色，另一个使用声音。准确度（d撇）和反应时间的措施。结果表明，音乐家在这两项任务中的表现都优于非音乐家。音乐家们也花了更多的时间来回应这两项任务。对这一结果的一种解释是，音乐家在训练过程中获得的乐器音色的专业知识转移到了声音音色上。音乐家参与者在实验过程中也可能使用了不同的认知策略。音乐家更高的反应时间可以通过更长的语言-听觉记忆和使用进一步处理听觉特征的策略来解释。(c)2006爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
After several years of exposure to musical instrument practice, musicians acquire a great expertise in processing auditory features like tonal pitch or timbre. Here we compared the performance of musicians and non-musicians in two timbre discrimination tasks: one using instrumental timbres, the other using voices. Both accuracy (d-prime) and reaction time measures were obtained. The results indicate that the musicians performed better than the non-musicians at both tasks. The musicians also took more time to respond at both tasks. One interpretation of this result is that the expertise musicians acquired with instrumental timbres during their training transferred to timbres of voice. The musician participants may also have used different cognitive strategies during the experiment. Higher response times found in musicians can be explained by a longer verbal-auditory memory and the use of a strategy to further process auditory features. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
