“…As mentioned earlier, several studies have suggested that some auditory tasks, such as frequency discrimination , discrimination of auditory spectra (Allen & Wightman, 1992), discrimination of low frequency tones (Maxon & Hochberg, 1982) and intensity coding (Buss, Hall & Grose, 2006), require several years to become adult-like. More relevant for our task is that children have poorer auditory temporal skills than adults (Wightman, Allen, Dolan, Kistler & Jamieson, 1989) and various psychophysical tasks suggest that their ability to distinguish rapidly presented auditory inputs continues to develop until early adolescence (Gori, Sandini & Burr, 2012;Hall & Grose, 1994;Hartley, Wright, Hogan & Moore, 2000;Irwin, Ball, Kay, Stillman & Rosser, 1985;Walker, Hall, Klein & Phillips, 2006). Experimental evidence suggests that motor coordination also develops late (Jansen-Osmann, Richter, Konczak & Kalveram, 2002;Konczak, Borutta, Topka & Dichgans, 1995;Konczak & Dichgans, 1997;von Hofsten, 1991).…”
