| Popis: | Twenty-three infants, between 3 and 6 months of age, were seen three times in a study of pitch-matching. In the third session, the babies were presented with two or three sung tones (D, F, and A above middle C). All of the babies responded by vocalizing on the presented pitch significantly often. The ability of infants in the first six months of life to imitate pitched tones poses questions important both for theories of imitation and for early music education. |
