Abstract

Objectives

This study aims to evaluate musical pitch and timbre perception in children who stutter and compare the results with typically developing children.

Methods

A total of 50 participants were included in the study, consisting of 25 children with stuttering (mean age = 10.06 years; range 6–17 years) and 25 typically developing children (mean age = 10.38 years; range 7–16 years). Participants were administered Pitch Direction Discrimination (PDD) and Timbre Recognition (TR) tests in the original form of The Clinical Assessment of Music Perception. Both subtests were administered in a quiet room, and the children used headphones to receive auditory stimuli.

Results

The mean PDD score of the stuttering group was 3.60 semitones (SD = 2.71), while the mean score of the typically developing children was 2.26 semitones (SD = 1.43). In the TR test, the mean accuracy of the stuttering group was 53.17 % (SD = 21.69), while the mean accuracy of the typically developing children were 65.33 % (SD = 19.64). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant in the PDD (t(48) = 2.17, p = 0.03) and TR (t(48) = −2.08, p = 0.04) tests.

Conclusions

The study found that children who stuttered had poorer pitch and timbre musical perception skills than age-matched peers who were typically developing children. The lower success rates of the stuttering group on both tests may indicate general deficits in auditory processing, which could be related to attention and short-term memory processing.

期刊介绍: The purpose of the International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology is to concentrate and disseminate information concerning prevention, cure and care of otorhinolaryngological disorders in infants and children due to developmental, degenerative, infectious, neoplastic, traumatic, social, psychiatric and economic causes. The Journal provides a medium for clinical and basic contributions in all of the areas of pediatric otorhinolaryngology. This includes medical and surgical otology, bronchoesophagology, laryngology, rhinology, diseases of the head and neck, and disorders of communication, including voice, speech and language disorders.
