Sensori-motor synchronization (SMS) is the coordination of rhythmic movement with an
external rhythm. It plays a central role in motor, cognitive, and social behavior. SMS is …

Coordinated group displays featuring precise entrainment of rhythmic behavior between
neighbors occur not only in human music, dance and drill, but in the acoustic or optical …

The relationship between musical and linguistic skills has received particular attention in
infants and school-aged children. However, very little is known about pre-schoolers. This …

Musical rhythm abilities—the perception of and coordinated action to the rhythmic structure
of music—undergo remarkable change over human development. In the current paper, we …

Adults can extract the underlying beat from music, and entrain their movements with that
beat. Although infants and children are poor at synchronizing their movements to auditory …

The aim of this study was to examine the perception of time in the first months of life. Does
the perception of contextual temporal information (an auditory tempo) induce modifications …

L'objectif de cette étude est d'analyser les capacités de l'enfant âgé de 1 ½ à 3 ½ ans à
modifier son tempo moteur spontané (TMS) en fonction de tempi auditifs. Les résultats …

Musical and rhythmical abilities are poorly documented in non-human animals. Most of the
existing studies focused on synchronisation performances to external rhythms. In humans …

Most children move rhythmically when they are focused on a task, whereas they are
expected to remain still. Yet, Dynamic Attention Theory provides a theoretical framework to …

La musique est un objet sonore complexe mais qui repose sur une organisation temporelle
très régulière. Cette caractéristique forte permet, lorsqu'elle est maîtrisée, d'anticiper les …
