by their auditory environment, skilled at decoding music and other sounds into
meaningful components, and motivated to engage musically with other humans. <i>Developmental
Science</i> is inviting papers for submission to a Special Issue focusing on
the "how" and "why" of music in development, in terms of
the roles and impacts of music in auditory development, the functions of music
in higher-level cognitive processes, and developmental changes in music
perception during infancy and across childhood.</span></p>
