When the music's over. Does music skill transfer to children's and young adolescents' cognitive and academic skills? A meta-analysis (2017, background): “Anvari, S. H., Trainor, L. G., Woodside, J., & Levy, B. A. (2002).”
Cross-domain Effects of Music and Language Experience on the Representation of Pitch in the Human Auditory Brainstem (2011, neutral): “© 2010 Massachusetts Institute of Technology Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience 23:2, pp. 425–434 improves phonological processing (Slevc & Miyake, 2006; Anvari, Trainor, Woodside, & Levy, 2002 ).”
Musical training influences linguistic abilities in 8-year-old children: more evidence for brain plasticity. (2009, background): “…analysis, as well as sound segmentation and blending (Lamb and Gregory 1993), also improves the development of the phonological representations necessary for reading (Swan and Goswami 1997; Habib 2000; Anvari et al. 2002; Foxton et al. 2003; Overy 2003; Gaab et al. 2005; Tallal and Gaab 2006).”
Music Lessons Enhance IQ (2004, neutral): “For example, musical aptitude is associated with literacy ( Anvari, Trainor, Woodside, & Levy, 2002; Lamb & Gregory, 1993) and general intelligence (Lynn, Wilson, & Gault, 1989).”
The role of prosodic sensitivity in children’s reading development (2006, neutral): “reading ability ( Anvari, Trainor, Woodside, & Levy, 2002; Espy, Molfese, Molfese, &”
Associations Between Length of Music Training and Reading Skills in Children (2011, background): “In a large study of 50 4-year-olds and 50 5-year-olds, Anvari et al. (2002) found that both rhythm and pitch perception skills predicted early reading performance in 4-yearolds, even after accounting for variance due to phonological awareness.”
Links between early rhythm skills, musical training, and phonological awareness (2013, positive): “These results expand on prior research by Anvari et al. (2002) who found significant correlations in rhythm and phonological processing macro-variables in 5-year-olds.”
