摘　　要：利用音高空间表征任务、心理旋转任务和音高辨别任务,探讨先天性音乐障碍者与控制组被试在音高空间表征能力、心理旋转加工能力和音高辨别能力上的差异。结果发现:先天性音乐障碍组音高空间表征任务标准差、心理旋转任务错误率和音高辨别任务错误率均显著高于控制组。这些结果表明先天性音乐障碍并非音乐特异性障碍,而是音乐相关性障碍。Congenital amusia is a lifelong music deficiency that cannot be attributed to abnormal intelligence, hearing impairment, brain damage or lack of normal exposure. It has been reported that congenital amusia affects about 4% of the general population in Western culture, while the rate is 3.4% in China, However, whether congenital amusia is a music-specific deficiency or a general cognitive deficiency remains a controversial issue. Using behavioral measures, both congenital amusics and matched controls completed the spatial representation of a pitch task, a spatial mental rotation task, and a pitch discrimination task in the present study. The aim of present study was to explore whether deficiency of congenital amusia was limited to music or extended to other non-music domains. Thirty-seven volunteers were initially tested with the Montreal Battery of Evaluation ofAmusia （MBEA）. Participants who achieved scores below 65 in the first three subtests （Scale, Contour and Interval） of the MBEA were considered as congenital amusics （N=14）. Fourteen matched controls were also recruited. The pitch spatial representation task, mental rotation task and pitch discrimination task were completed by both groups. In the pitch spatial representation task, the standard deviation of the X position was analyzed using mixed ANOVA, which was conducted with a 2（group） x 6（pitch） desgin, A significant main effect of the group was found, showing that the congenital amusics performed worse than the controls in pitch spatial representations. The mental rotation task revealed a significant main effect of the group in error rate, showing worse performance in individuals with congenital amusia than controls. In the pitch discrimination task, the results showed that the error rates of the congenital amusics were significantly worse than those of the controls. In summary, the results of the present study demonstrated that the deficits in congenital amusia extended to spatial representation of pitch and even spatial mental r
