• Music and Language: A Developmental Comparison (2004, background): “No evidence has yet been provided that infants use similar information in responding to musical stimuli (though see Saffran, 2003b for preliminary evidence that 8-month-old infants treat tonal and atonal materials differently).”
• THE ORIGINS OF MUSIC: INNATENESS, UNIQUENESS, AND EVOLUTION (2005, result): “Consistent with this notion, some evidence suggests that infants rely more on absolute pitch than do adults (Saffran & Griepentrog, 2001; Saffran, 2003), although infants seem to readily hear the relative pitch sequences that define a melody’s contour (Trehub et al.”
