Con note e filastrocche i bambini imparano prima a parlare
I piccoli imparano più parole e le memorizzano meglio se sono cantate, in rima e fanno parte di una canzone
MILANO - Filastrocche, canzoncine, giochi in rima: le ultime ricerche scientifiche dimostrano che per i bambini,sono più di un passatempo. Rappresentano infatti uno stimolo che insegna a memorizzare in fretta le parole e quindi a parlare. L’osservazione scaturisce da un lavoro di Jenny Saffran ed Erik Thiessen, rispettivamente dell’università del Wisconsin e della Carnegie Mellon University, in Pennsylvania, negli Stati Uniti, incluso nel volume «The Neurosciences and Music – III, Disorders and plasticity» appena pubblicato in collaboration with the New York Academy of Sciences, shows that more than 60 scientific papers that define the state of the art 'neuromusica. The work has been presented of a conference held in Montreal over in 2008 by the Foundation Pierfranco and Luisa Mariani (the two previous editions were held in Venice in 2002 and Leipzig in 2005).
STUDY - Saffran and Thiessen's research has focused sound environment in which children grow up, from birth that is permeated with music and is dominated by a language directed towards them called Infant Directed Speech (that sort of chanted language directed to children and adults) and using a language simplified and a slightly sharper tone. According to Saffran and Thiessen children learn more words and store better if they are sung, if they rhyme and are part of a song. On the other hand, children remember more if they have the tunes and if words are not only entrusted to musical instruments. Behind these comments is the idea that music can be a means to facilitate encryption of messages not music, like language, and to stimulate the processes of care of children. The music, therefore, could be successfully used to accelerate the learning of children. Especially since there is a virtuous circle: if the melody has the words, children remember better. And if children learn a tune, they can more easily memorize the words that accompany it. "The research on music and neuroscience continues to give great results" says Maria Majno, program manager of the Mariani Foundation: "This is a growing field that promises significant advances in education and rehabilitation: what we have learned are already changing the way we best understand and help children with neurological difficulties.
