The Contributions of Development versus Music Training to Simple Tempo Discrimination.
Miller, Leon K.; Eargle, Amy
Journal of Research in Music Education, v38 n4 p294-301 Win 1990
Asked adults and children ages 7 to 15 to detect changes in an unaccompanied drumbeat. Found significant differences in performance as a function of age when drumbeats fluctuated. Found musical training more influential than age when drumbeat was constant. Discusses a multiprocess model for the perception of tempo. (NL)
