研究内容
音を介したコミュニケーションには音楽やプロソディーなど様々な「音楽的」要素があります。それらの音楽的要素を含む音の知覚や産出とその発達、音楽的な音が他者とのコミュニケーションに与える影響について行動指標と神経生理学的指標の両方を用いて研究しています。
現在行っている研究は以下の通りです。
- 音楽共演中のタイミング表現が知覚プロセスと社会的評価に与える影響
- 乳児と保育者の間のコミュニケーションに見られる音楽的要素とその効果
- 人工内耳を装用する難聴児と健聴児を対象にした、音楽と音声言語の知覚、表出の発達
- 音楽体験が音知覚その他の認知パフォーマンスに与える影響
- 難聴者の音高知覚向上を目的とした音楽題材を用いた教材の開発とその効果の検証
研究の魅力
子守唄は世界中のすべての文化圏で確認され、人は音楽に対して多くのリソースを割いています。音楽的なコミュニケーション、音楽知覚認知の研究は人の発達、認知を理解するためにはとても重要です。
実績
乳児が母親の発話よりも歌に対してより強い関心を示すことを、 実験的手法で初めて実証して音楽が人の発達に重要な役割を果たすことを示しました。
人工内耳は音声言語の理解のために効果的であるが、正確なピッチ情報の処理を必要とする音楽や音声言語のプロソディーの理解は困難であるとされていましたが、人工内耳を装用している子ども達は既知の曲の同定ができること、歌うことで曲のリズムを健聴児と統計的に差のない精度で産出できることを医療分野の研究者・専門家との共同研究によって始めて報告しました。

Research Contents
My main focus of research concerns how different features of music and prosodic speech influence the way people perceive sound, communicate, and acquire new skills using both behavioral and neurophysiological (EEG) techniques. Questions we investigate include:
- Effects of timing expression on perceptual processing and social evaluation during musical interaction.
- Musicality in caretaker-infant interaction
- Music and speech perception and production by users of cochlear implants
- Effects of music on auditory perception and social perception
- Music training to enhance sound perception for users of cochlear implants
Attractive Factors of My Research
Understanding how people communicate by ‘musical’ sounds is an effective way to investigate how human cognition and emotion operate.
Achievements
We have shown that infants show preference for music over language. This finding is considered as one important empirical evidence to support the idea that music is an integral part of human development.
With researchers in otolaryngology, speech therapy, and audiology, we have shown that child users of cochlear implants are very musical. Children with cochlear implants typically enjoy singing songs and they can identify familiar songs. We have developed several new testing procedures for music and prosody perception and production for children with cochlear implants. By using these test procedures, we have shown that children with cochlear implants are good at producing rhythmic patterns of familiar songs and imitating speech prosody.
