Reading skills are related to global, but not local, acoustic pattern perceptionJessica M Foxton
Auditory Group, School of Neurology, Neurobiology and Psychiatry, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Framlington Place, Newcastle NE2 4HH, UK
Nat Neurosci 6:343-4. 2003
Absence of auditory 'global interference' in autismJessica M Foxton
School of Neurology, Neurobiology and Psychiatry, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
Brain 126:2703-9. 2003..This was attributed to the absence of interference from an auditory coherent whole. The results are consistent with the presence of abnormal interactions between local and global auditory perception in ASD...
Training improves acoustic pattern perceptionJessica M Foxton
Auditory Group, School of Neurology, Neurobiology and Psychiatry, University of Newcastle upon Tyne Medical School, Framlington Place, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4HH, United Kingdom
Curr Biol 14:322-5. 2004..Further studies are required to determine whether pitch-contour training is effective in improving speech and melody perception...
Characterization of deficits in pitch perception underlying 'tone deafness'Jessica M Foxton
Auditory Group, School of Neurology, Neurobiology and Psychiatry, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Framlington Place, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
Brain 127:801-10. 2004..In contrast, no abnormalities were identified in the perceptual organization of pitch. The pitch deficits identified are able to account for the music perception difficulties in this disorder, and implicate deficient cortical processing...
Rhythm deficits in 'tone deafness'Jessica M Foxton
Auditory Group, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Framlington Place, Newcastle NE2 4HH, UK
Brain Cogn 62:24-9. 2006..These results suggest that the rhythm deficits in congenital amusia result from the pitch-variations in music...
Musically tone-deaf individuals have difficulty discriminating intonation contours extracted from speechAniruddh D Patel
The Neurosciences Institute, San Diego, CA, USA
Brain Cogn 59:310-3. 2005..Thus it appears that the dissociation between spoken and musical pitch perception in tone-deaf individuals is due to a deficit at a higher level than simple pitch-change detection...
