MÚSICA E CONSCIÊNCIA FONOLÓGICA: UM ESTUDO SOBRE TRANSFERÊNCIA DE HABILIDADES COGNITIVAS

Abstract

This monograph addresses the transfer of cognitive skills within the relationship between music and phonological awareness. Studies on this metalinguistic ability have demonstrated its importance for the development of reading and writing. Furthermore, research indicates that certain auditory analysis skills employed in language are similar to those used in musical perception, making it possible to relate the latter also to the development of reading and writing. Following a survey and analysis of studies addressing this relationship, positive influences of musical training on phonological awareness skills were identified, as well as hypotheses regarding the sharing of cognitive processes between music and language, in addition to evidence of transfer effects between these domains. In this context, this study aims to gather and analyze research, through a bibliographic review, on the transfer of cognitive skills between musical competencies and phonological awareness, based on studies conducted with children aged 4 to 8 years.
