Intégralité et séparabilité : revue et application aux interactions entre paroles et mélodies dans le chant

Response: A commentary on: “Neural overlap in processing music and speech”

“…Assuring equal strengths of manipulations across dimensions requires additional testing, including baseline conditions (without the concurrent manipulation of the other dimension), as done similarly in studies using Garner's interference paradigm (Garner, 1974 ). Even though initially developed to investigate perceptual processes, Garner's paradigm has been used to study sensory and linguistic processes (e.g., Melara and Marks, 1990 ) or text and melody in song (see Lidji, 2007 ). It also calls the domain to further study the directionality of the interference between music and language processing (with most studies having investigated the effect of music on language processing, see however Steinbeis and Koelsch, 2008 ).…”
