Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of pitch range (i.e., high vs low) in a simple, musical context on sustained and selective attention in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and typically-developing (TD) children. This study also explored the effect of different types of distracting sounds on selective attention in both groups. Existing research indicates that music-based interventions or background music during cognitive tasks can promote attention in children with ASD. However, no published study has yet explored the effects of specific musical elements, such as pitch range, on attention in children with and without ASD. Thus, the present study addressed a current void in the research literature. A total of 70 children with and without ASD completed the Music-Based Attention Assessment-Revised for Children II (MAA-RC II). The MAA-RC II is a melodic-contour identification test, including sustained and selective attention subtests. For each subtest, target melodic contours are presented in three directions: ascending, descending, and stationary. Equal numbers of items are presented either at a low pitch range (i.e., 220 Hz to 523.55 Hz) or at a high pitch range (i.e., 1046.5 Hz to 2637 Hz) in a keyboard timbre. During the selective attention subtest, participants heard a recorded continuous (i.e., water flowing), fluctuating (i.e., bird song), or intermittent sound (i.e., woodblock) against each target melodic contour as an auditory distraction. In both attention subtests, participants listened to each melodic contour and identified the direction of the melody. The independent variables were pitch range, population, type of attention task, and type of distracting sound. The dependent variable was the frequency of correct responses to the MAA-RC II. The most prominent finding in the present study was the lack of a significant difference between the two groups regardless of pitch range, type of attention, or distracting sound. These results imply that children with ASD, similar to TD children, can understand and complete a music-based attention task and can maintain attention to simple music stimuli. Results suggest that music is an appropriate sensory stimulus for attention in children with and without ASD. Results revealed that children with ASD achieved significantly higher scores on the sustained attention subtest when the stimulus consisted of a low pitch range rather than a high pitch range. This finding indicates that children with ASD might attend differently to sound depending on pitch range. Specifically, children with ASD might be more attentive to low-pitched sounds compared to high-pitched sounds. In addition, although the inferential results demonstrated no statistical significance, the descriptive results indicated that both TD children and children with ASD achieved higher MAA-RC II scores in both sustained and selective attention subtests when they heard target melodies at a low pitch range compared to a high pitch range. Moreover, both TD children and children with ASD successfully completed the MAA-RC II with a fair degree of accuracy for both sustained and selective attention subtests. Additionally, Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency of the MAA-RC II was high, indicating that simple music stimuli can be a reliable tool to assess sustained and selective attention in children with and without ASD. Based on these findings, music therapists and other professionals who work with children who have ASD can gain valuable information about the relationship between pitch range and attention for this population. The findings may also contribute to scientific evidence for the therapeutic use of music for improving attention, and may inform the diagnostic use of music for children who have attentional problems.

This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.

Book excerpt: How does a young child begin to make sense out of squiggles on a page? Is learning to read a process of extending already acquired language abilities to print? What comprises this extension? How children learn to read, and especially how children are taught to read, are problems of sustained scientific interest and enduring pedagogical controversy. This volume presents conceptual and theoretical analyses of learning to read, research on the very beginning processes of learning to read, as well as research on phonological abilities and on children who have problems learning to read. In so doing, it reflects the important discovery that learning to read requires mastering the system by which print encodes the language. The editors hope that some of the work offered in this text will influence future research questions and will make a difference in the way instructional issues are formulated.
