from Part II - Perceptual Development
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 September 2020
Unlike visual patterns, which are typically distributed in space, auditory patterns are necessarily distributed in time. As a result, listeners must allocate their attention over time, implicating memory processes as they track global as well as local features of patterns. Because of the cognitive and experiential limitations of infants, one might expect their perception of auditory patterns to differ drastically from that of adults. There are notable adult–infant differences, of course, but there are also parallels, which stem largely from infants’ holistic approach to auditory pattern processing and their biological predispositions.
