Does music training improve emotion recognition and cognitive abilities? Longit...
Neves, L.; Martins, M.; Correia, A. I.; Castro, S. L.; Schellenberg, E. G.; Lima, C. F.Music training is widely claimed to enhance nonmusical abilities, yet causal evidence remains inconclusive. Moreover, research tends to focus on cognitive over socioemotional outcomes. In two studies, we investigated whether music training improves emotion recognition in voices and faces among school-aged children. We also examined music-training effects on musical abilities, motor skills (fine and gross), broa...

Does music training enhance auditory and linguistic processing? A systematic re...
Neves, L.; Correia, A. I.; Castro, S. L.; Martins, D.; Lima, C. F.It is often claimed that music training improves auditory and linguistic skills. Results of individual studies are mixed, however, and most evidence is correlational, precluding inferences of causation. Here, we evaluated data from 62 longitudinal studies that examined whether music training programs affect behavioral and brain measures of auditory and linguistic processing (N = 3928). For the behavioral data, ...
Predictors of shared book reading at home with preschoolers: Are there differen...
Ferreira, I.; Silva, C.; Neves, L.; Guichard, S.; Aguiar, C.Previous research highlights several benefits of shared book reading (SBR) for child development, but less studies exist about its predictors (Yarosz & Barnett, 2001). Literature on home SBR in Portugal is scarce (Araújo & Costa, 2015; Peixoto et al., 2008), and studies on its predictors in families at socioeconomic risk or Roma families in this context are, respectively, reduced (Gamelas et al., 2003) or inexi...
Associations between vocal emotion recognition and socio-emotional adjustment i...
Neves, L.; Martins, M.; Correia, A. I.; Castro, S. L.; Lima, C. F.The human voice is a primary channel for emotional communication. It is often presumed that being able to recognize vocal emotions is important for everyday socioemotional functioning, but evidence for this assumption remains scarce. Here, we examined relationships between vocal emotion recognition and socio-emotional adjustment in children. The sample included 141 6- to 8-year-old children, and the emotion tas...
Authentic and posed emotional vocalizations trigger distinct facial responses
Lima, C. F.; Arriaga, P.; Anikin, A.; Pires, A. R.; Frade, S.; Neves, L.; Scott, S. K.The ability to recognize the emotions of others is a crucial skill. In the visual modality, sensorimotor mechanisms provide an important route for emotion recognition. Perceiving facial expressions often evokes activity in facial muscles and in motor and somatosensory systems, and this activity relates to performance in emotion tasks. It remains unclear whether and how similar mechanisms extend to audition. Her...

High emotional contagion and empathy are associated with enhanced detection of ...
Neves, L.; Cordeiro, C.; Scott, S. K.; Castro, S. L.; Lima, C. F.Nonverbal vocalisations such as laughter pervade social interactions, and the ability to accurately interpret them is an important skill. Previous research has probed the general mechanisms supporting vocal emotional processing, but the factors that determine individual differences in this ability remain poorly understood. Here, we ask whether the propensity to resonate with others’ emotions—as measured by trai...
