几项比较成年音乐家和非音乐家的研究表明，音乐训练与大脑差异有关。然而，这些差异是否是长期的音乐训练、预先存在的生物特征或有利于音乐性的社会因素造成的，目前还不清楚。作为正在进行的5年纵向研究的一部分，我们从6-7岁开始，在两年内调查了音乐训练计划对儿童听觉发育的影响。培训以小组为基础，并受到El-Sistema的启发。我们将音乐组的儿童与两组具有相同社会经济背景的儿童进行了比较，一组参与运动训练，另一组不参与任何系统的训练。在参与之前，开始接受音乐训练的儿童在任何评估措施中与对照组没有差异。两年后，我们观察到，音乐组的孩子，而不是在两个对照组，表现出更强的能力来检测音调环境的变化和听觉处理的加速成熟，通过皮层听觉诱发电位来测量音符。我们的研究结果表明，音乐训练可能会导致刺激特定的学龄儿童的大脑变化。(C)2016作者出版社：Elsevier Ltd
Several studies comparing adult musicians and non-musicians have shown that music training is associated with brain differences. It is unknown, however, whether these differences result from lengthy musical training, from pre-existing biological traits, or from social factors favoring musicality. As part of an ongoing 5-year longitudinal study, we investigated the effects of a music training program on the auditory development of children, over the course of two years, beginning at age 6-7. The training was group based and inspired by El-Sistema. We compared the children in the music group with two comparison groups of children of the same socio-economic background, one involved in sports training, another not involved in any systematic training. Prior to participating, children who began training in music did not differ from those in the comparison groups in any of the assessed measures. After two years, we now observe that children in the music group, but not in the two comparison groups, show an enhanced ability to detect changes in tonal environment and an accelerated maturity of auditory processing as measured by cortical auditory evoked potentials to musical notes. Our results suggest that music training may result in stimulus specific brain changes in school aged children. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
