• Music and Language: A Developmental Comparison (2004, background): “Six-month-old infants remember the specific tempo and timbre of music with which they are familiarized, failing to recognize pieces when they are played at new tempos or with new timbres, although recognition is maintained when pieces are transposed to a new key (Trainor et al., 2002).”
• Happy, sad, scary and peaceful musical excerpts for research on emotions (2008, background): “From 2 to 4 months old, infants exhibit a preference for consonant-pleasant over dissonant-unpleasant music (Trainor, Tsang, & Cheung, 2002 ).”
