research and I thought I needed to do something cultural. I will say, everyone told me, “Oh, it’s really easy!” but was harder than I thought. Latvians, you all either sing or you dance, in America they are much more stringent. I didn’t have any musical background, but I can now play two full songs, which is exciting after not that many lessons. And when I go back to the U.S. I actually had a Latvian American “meistars” make me a kokle. I rented this one [shows], because you can rent kokles in Latvia. So I’m going back to the U.S. to have my very own kokle and I can continue playing. I got up this morning and I was working on the song that I’m trying to play, so you get that feeling of accomplishment that you don’t always get from academic work, because academic work takes months. Learning and doing cultural things gives you a sense of accomplishment, and I will say, people are impressed when they hear I’ve been taking kokle lessons, too. So that’s another way to impress Latvians. What have

15th International Symposium of Cognition, Logic and Language Satellite event in collaboration with Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music Music and Language: neural and behavioral transfers Research on language and music has become rather diverse in the past two decades, which is why multiple different fields have started to look more closely at shared and distinct mechanisms of music and speech. At this conference, the link between music and language will be shown from a number of different approaches and the main topics of discussion will focus on the relationship between music and language ability. The contributions present findings, which illustrate that singing ability and singing behaviour during childhood both, predict language aptitude during adulthood. In addition, musical measurements, and elementary auditory skills and how they relate to individual differences in diverse language skills such as pronunciation, phonemic awareness and novel speech perception will also
