We examined 10-12-year old elementary school children's ability to
preattentively process sound durations in music and speech stimuli.
In total, 40 children had either advanced foreign language production
skills and higher musical aptitude or less advanced results in both
musicality and linguistic tests. Event-related potential (ERP) recordings
of the mismatch negativity (MMN) show that the duration changes in
musical sounds are more prominently and accurately processed than
changes in speech sounds. Moreover, children with advanced pronunciation
and musicality skills displayed enhanced MMNs to duration changes
in both speech and musical sounds. Thus, our study provides further
evidence for the claim that musical aptitude and linguistic skills
are interconnected and the musical features of the stimuli could
have a preponderant role in preattentive duration processing.
