Melody and Prosody: Living Together in Perfect Harmony?

Add to personal library

This paper offers an inspection of the similarities and differences in music and language processing. Evidence from multiple studies are utilized in an attempt to discern how entwined they are within the realm of neurological processing. While there are significant areas of overlap, points of divergence help to distinguish the order in which the brain processes the two auditory streams, and may also help in implicating which process was established first. This paper was written for a cognitive neuroscience course in 2011, though minor grammatical adjustments were made before posting on academese.com in 2013.
