A SELECTIVE DEFICIT IN THE PRODUCTION OF EXACT MUSICAL INTERVALS FOLLOWING RIGHT-HEMISPHERE DAMAGE

University of Trieste, ItalyIn this study we focused our attention on the production of music in its vocal form. To our knowledge
this is the first detailed description of a dissociation between encoding and retrieval of melodic intervals
in music. We describe the case of a 55-year-old high-level amateur musician, IP, who had suffered a
right-hemisphere stroke. While the patient performs well in music recognition and discrimination
tasks, he is selectively impaired at singing correct intervals. More precisely, IP’s performance relative to
the rhythm and the contour retrieval of musical patterns is preserved; his impairment is limited to
precise pitch retrieval and it is highly correlated to the degree of dissonance of the intervals he is required
to sing. These findings are discussed relative to previous works in neuropsychology of music with regard
to both functional models and brain function localisation. An extended version of the model proposed
by Peretz (1993b) is presented.Return to Theme Group Home

From the AIRS Milestone Document
Laurel Trainor (McMaster University) and Christine Tsang (University of Western Ontario) will lead a program of research that begins in Year 1 as a basic inquiry into the relation between perception and production of singing and an investigation of the sensory and motor constraints on production accuracy. Year 2 will examine factors affecting singing development such as type of language (e.g., tonal vs non-tonal), formal training, environments (home, school, community), and cross-cultural differences, laying the foundation for beginning to examine in Year 3 the correlation between singing and brain measurements using EEG and MRI, as the basis of a cognitive neuro-social scientific model of singing development.
