“…Even if congenital amusia was first described to be music-specific (Ayotte et al, 2002;Peretz et al, 2003), recent evidence suggest that the pitch deficit in congenital amusia could also extend to speech material, even though to a lesser extent (Nguyen et al, 2009;Tillmann, Burnham, et al, 2011;Tillmann, Rusconi, et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2017). In relation with the present study, congenital amusia is not only a music perception deficit but also a language processing deficit, in particular for non-verbal auditory cues such as emotional prosody (Lolli et al, 2015;Nguyen et al, 2009;Patel et al, 2008;Pralus et al, 2019;Thompson et al, 2012).…”
