Recognition of emotions in music by children and adults

M M Terwogt et al. Percept Mot Skills. 1988 Dec.

Abstract

32 children 5 to 6 yr. old, 32 9 to 11 yr. old, and 32 adults linked musical fragments to emotions in a similar manner, older subjects being more accurate. Some emotions were more difficult than others; anger and fear were often confused. Older subjects gave better justifications for their choices.
