简要总结
The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the effects a musical intervention has on typical brain development in preschool-aged children.
详细描述
This study will advance the science on brain research in young children by determining the effects of a musical intervention or training on children's brain development. The study will investigate how regular instruction in the Suzuki-like method of violin affects brain structure and function over the course of approximately five (5) months in preschool-aged children participating in an Early Childhood/Headstart preschool program when compared to a control group of their peers.
