Music is an important tool for the expression of emotion and transmission of culture. One approach to understanding why music is a human universal is to examine how people process musical structure - the simultaneous and sequential pitch relations among tones of musical pieces. We investigate the way humans acquire implicit and explicit knowledge of such relations and the way exposure to music influences acquisition. Three experiments involving infants, children and adults will compare formal musical training with incidental learning. Results will increase knowledge of the development of auditory perception and music cognition. Infant perceptual predispositions hold implications for music education.

音乐是表达情感、传播文化的重要工具。理解音乐为何是人类共有的一种方法是研究人们是如何处理音乐结构的--音乐作品中音调之间的同时和顺序音高关系。我们调查的方式，人类获得这种关系的内隐和外显的知识，以及接触音乐的方式影响收购。三个涉及婴儿、儿童和成人的实验将比较正式的音乐训练和附带学习。研究结果将有助于加深对听觉和音乐认知发展的认识。幼儿的知觉倾向对音乐教育具有启示意义。
