以往大量研究表明音乐训练对于语言能力有促进作用，声调语言的经验也对于音乐能力的感知有一定的影响。为了探究音乐音高感知能力和汉语声调识别能力之间的关系，本研究选取64名北京市某小学学生作为被试，在一年级末、三年级末通过瑞文智力测验、音高测验、汉语单字测验，两次测量其智力水平、音高感知能力和汉语声调感知能力。结果表明从一年级到三年级儿童的两项能力均有显著发展，且相互之间相关关系显著且稳定。在一年级和三年级，儿童的汉语声调识别能力和音乐音高感知能力均可以相互预测。且儿童一年级的汉语声调识别能力可以显著预测解释其三年级的音乐音高感知能力。

Former studies proved that music training could enhance language abilities, and experience with tonal language could have impact on musical perception. In order to test the relationship between musical pitch perception ability and Mandarin lexical tone perception ability, this study tested 64 primary students from Beijing, applying Raven Intelligence test, pitch test and Mandarin individual character to measure their level of intelligence, pitch perception ability and Mandarin lexical tone perception ability at the end of their first grade and third grade separately. The results show that children’s abilities grew during the two years and the abilities to perceive musical pitch and lexical tone are tightly linked. In grade one and grade three respectively, children’s musical pitch perception ability and Mandarin lexical tone perception ability could independently account for each other. Mandarin lexical tone perception ability in grade one could independently account for the musical pitch perception ability in grade three.
