Can Music Influence Language and Cognition? (2009, result): “Taken together, these findings reflect the results of a meta-analysis conducted by Butzlaff (2000).”
Links between early rhythm skills, musical training, and phonological awareness (2013, unknown): “From a meta-analysis of 24 such studies from 1959 to 1992, Butzlaff (2000) reported that ‘‘there is indeed a strong and reliable association between the study of music and performance on standardized reading/verbal tests’’ (p. 172).”
Does music training enhance working memory performance? Findings from a quasi-experimental longitudinal study (2014, background): “For example, effects on cognitive functions have been shown in speech and language processing (Butzlaff, 2000; Moreno et al., 2009; Moreno, Bialystok, Schellenberg, Cepeda, & Chau, 2011), spatial (Brochard, Dufour, & Després, 2004; Hetland, 2000) and mathematical reasoning (Cheek & Smith, 1999;…”
Long-Term Positive Associations between Music Lessons and IQ. (2006, unknown): “, 1993), and between musical training and reading abilities (Butzlaff, 2000; Hurwitz, Wolff, Bortnick, & Kokas, 1975) or subcomponents of literacy such as vocabulary (Orsmond & Miller, 1999) and verbal memory (Brandler & Rammsayer, 2003; Chan, Ho, & Cheung, 1998; Ho, Cheung, & Chan, 2003; Jakobson, ”
Examination of Relationships between Participation in School Music Programs of Differing Quality and Standardized Test Results (2006, methodology): “This relationship has been demonstrated with standardized tests in reading (Butzlaff, 2000; Neuharth, 2000), mathematics (Neuharth, 2000; Whitehead, 2001), grade-point averages (Miranda, 2001; Zanutto, 1997), SAT”
The Cognitive and Academic Benefits of Music to Children: Facts and fiction (2006, unknown): “, Barret & Barker, 1973; Hassler, Birbaumer, & Feil, 1985; Karma, 1979; Manturzewska, 1978; Nelson & Barressi, 1989), literacy (Anvari, Trainor, Woodside, & Levy, 2002; Bultzlaff, 2000), and general intelligence (Lynn, Wilson, & Gault, 1989).”
THE RELATION BETWEEN MUSIC AND PHONOLOGICAL PROCESSING IN NORMAL-READING CHILDREN AND CHILDREN WITH DYSLEXIA (2008, methodology): “Furthermore, in a meta-analysis of studies examining the correlation between music learning and reading, Butzlaff (2000) found a positive and significant effect size of r = .17.”
Musical training influences linguistic abilities in 8-year-old children: more evidence for brain plasticity. (2009, background): “By contrast, a meta-analysis conducted by Bultzlaff (2000) revealed positive correlations between musical training and reading abilities.”
Associations Between Length of Music Training and Reading Skills in Children (2011, methodology): “Furthermore, singing might be somewhat special in that it involves reading predictable text, segmenting words into syllables so that lyrics can be matched to the music (Forgeard et al., 2008), and recognizing patterns (Butzlaff, 2000).”
