Comparison of Vocalists and Instrumentalists on Lexical Tone Perception and Production Tasks

Musical experience has been shown to positively affect non-native lexical tone perception and production. The current study divided musicians into vocalists and instrumentalists to see if either background was particularly advantageous. The results showed no difference between the musician groups on either task. Additional analyses of individual tones yielded results consistent with previous research.
