Caria, Andrea, & di Falco, Simona, & Venuti, Paola. (2011). Functional and Dysfunctional Brain Circuits Underlying Emotional Processing of Music in Autism Spectrum Disorders. Cerebral Cortex December 2011;21:2838--2849. http://cercor.oxfordjournals.org/content/21/12/2838.full.pdf.
Short Summary:
People affected with Autism Spectrum Disorders seem to have a hard time conveying and understanding human emotion. Music is a form of expression that people with ASD seem to be able to relate to. Music exercises parts of the brain that are associated with emotions and is extremely interesting when observing those with ASD.
How I plan to use this in my study:
I find this article very interesting, especially because it speaks to music and helping to understand emotions in those with ASD. I plan to use this as a reference for my special education students who don't respond well to other kinds of methods of intervention. I think music may help them understand human emotion and be able to focus better. Once students are able to communicate through languages and arts, such as music, I think they are more apt to pay attention during class.

Can you give a brief summary as well as how you might use it for research? What information did you glean from this article?
ReplyDeleteExcellent - This article sounds really interesting - thanks for sharing a bit about it.
ReplyDeleteWow! - I am sharing this with the special education teachers in my building as well as our music instructor. I think this will really be helpful in informing your research.
