| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research examines how children aged 3-6 process aural information through human voice, and how they develop their skills to express their own emotion with their own voice. One hundred and twenty-four children from four kindergartens were examined by two different kinds of experiments.And sixty children from two kindergartens were examined by international comparison about lexicalbias.
The results show that (1) the older they became, the more they felt and understood the aural information and also gained skills to express their emotion;(2)positive correlations existed between processing the information and the skills(r=.547, p<.001);(3)children aged 5-6 relied on paralanguage when the cues conflicted;(4)children from the kindergarten which encouraged children to make their own decisions were more eager to explain how they accepted the aural information with richer vocabulary;(5)children had higher expression skills at the kindergarten where folksongs were sung more often.
