- The effect of piano lessons on the vocabulary and verbal sequencing skills of primary grade students (2009, background): “Music instruction and reading and language performance in children Several studies have examined the effects of music involvement on reading ability (Barwick et al., 1989; McMullen & Saffran, 2004).”
- Why Use Music in English Language Learning? A Survey of the Literature. (2013, background): “…recent studies in this field, likely somewhat due to the increase in sophistication of neuroscience technology as well as increased interest from within the field in the neural and functional structure of both language and music domains (for developmental comparison, see McMullen & Saffran, 2004).”
- Long-Term Positive Associations between Music Lessons and IQ. (2006, background): “Music has rules of order that are similar to those of syntax in language (Koelsch, 2005; Lerdahl, 2001; Lerdahl & Jackendoff, 1983; Patel, 2003), and similar mechanisms are likely to be involved in the acquisition of musical and linguistic knowledge (McMullen & Saffran, 2004).”
- Music, biological evolution, and the brain (2010, background): “In other words, tonal music may represent a case of the mind creating domain-specific knowledge via non domain-specific processes (cf. McMullen and Saffran, 2004).”
- Absolute Pitch, Speech, and Tone Language: Some Experiments and a Proposed Framework (2004, background): “…Saffran and Griepentrog (2001) that 8-month-old infants were able to perform a perceptual learning task that necessitated referring to the absolute pitches of tones provides strong evidence that the ability to acquire absolute pitch is indeed present in infancy (see also McMullen & Saffran, 2004).”
