Influence de l'apprentissage de la musique sur le traitement du langage: importance pour la remédiation de la dyslexie Mireille Besson Equipe Langage, Musique et Motricité Institut de Neurosciences Cognitives de la Méditerranée CNRS- Université de la Méditerranée U2 Programme « Ecole et Sciences Cognitives » “Neuroscience cognitives et apprentissage” CNRS – INRP Lyon, 23-24 Mars, 2006 IFMR
Influence of musical expertise Morphological and functional differences in the brain of musicians and non-musicians: Heschl’s gyrus, secondary auditory cortex, BA47, corpus callosum, planum temporale (Elbert et al, 1995; Gaser et al, 2003; Koelsch et al., 2002; Onishi et al, 2001; Schlaug et al, 1995; Pantev et al, 1998; Schneider et al, 2002; Vuust et al, 2005, …) Specificity ? Common networks are activated in tasks that were first thought to involve specialized brain areas and mechanisms(e.g., Posner & Rothbart, 2005) Common networks for music and language (Maess et al, 2001; Meyer et al, 2002; Tzourio et al, 1997; Zatorre et al, 2002, …) Musical expertise influences the anatomo-functional organization of brain regions that are not necessarily specific to music Theoretical framework
Theoretical framework Transfer of learning ? Musical training may favor positive transfers to other cognitive domains Behavioral level (increase in performance): mathematics(Costa-Giomi, 1999; Garinder et al 1996), symbolic and spatio-temporal reasoning (Rauscher et al, 1997), visuo-spatial abilities (Brochard et l, 2004), verbal memory ( Chan et al, 1998), general intelligence (Schellenberg, 2004) However, several factors (differences between groups, motivation, arousal, …) were often not controlled in these experiments (Schellenberg, 2001) few studies aimed at testing specific hypotheses regarding the causal links underlying these effects (Thompson et al 2004) Musical training, by increasing pitch perception, will facilitate prosodic processing in language (Thompson et al, 2003; 2004) Event-Related brain Potential method
Acoustic parameters:Fundamental frequency / Pitch Rhythm / Meter Intensity Spectral characteristics Same as music language specificity ? Comparison language - music Prosody Emotional function :express hapiness, anger, fear, … (Schirmer et al, 2001; Kotz et al, 2003, … ) Linguistic function :focus, modality, segmentation, … through word stress, pauses, intonation, … (Astesano et al, 2003; Böcker et al, 1999; Eckstein & Friederici, 2005; Friedrich et al, 2004; Magne et al, 2005; Meyer et al, 2000; Steinhauer et al, 1999; …)

Neurosc., 2006) • Influence of musical training on pitch/F0 processing in language • 8 weeks of training (Moreno & Besson, 2006) • 6 months of training (Moreno,Marquez, dos Santos, Castro & Besson, in prep.) • Pitch processing in dyslexic children • Detection of strong F0 violations in language impaired in dyslexics (dos Santos, Moreno, Habib & Besson, in press)

Conclusions • Musical ear : increase in pitch discrimination • Weak incongruity : Differences between musicians and non –musicians in adults and children. • Similarity Language – Music : • Late Positive Components (categorisation – decision) Language: weak incongruity only musicians • Differences Language – Music : • Early negative components : Music Adults: Right temporal Children: only musicians,more distributed Language Adults: Temporal bilateral Children : nothing!
Conclusion Musical expertise facilitates detection of pitch violations in language Can we find similar results with musical training ? Importance of music lessons for language learning ?
