Effects of Visual-Spatial Added Cues on Fourth-Graders' Melodic Discrimination.

Forsythe, Jere L.; Kelly, Margaret M.

Journal of Research in Music Education, v37 n4 p272-77 Win 1989

Tests whether aural discrimination is significantly better when visual-spatial stimuli are paired with melodic phrases.

Recommends further research on the use of different visual stimuli. (LS)
