Meter
Hierarchical expectations of strong and weak beats
Rhythm
pattern of beats
Isochronus
same time over and over again. No change in timing.

Evenly spaced
Grouping
How we phrase music

gestalt principles
Metric Hierarchy
Denoting important beats in a measure (1 and 3)
Dynamic Attending Theory
If you can predict when something will happen next, you better understand what happened.
Metric Qualia
Emotions associated with each beat
IOI
Inter-onset interval

If distance from one event to the other is more than 100 ms, then it is heard as one continuous sound
Vocal Learning
Acquiring speaking by hearing others and adapting by hearing other speaking.
Vocal learning species can be trained to beat.
nPVI
Normalized Pairwise Variability Index. Measurement of variability in timing in speech.
Stress-Timed Language
Beat based on stress of language
Syllable-Timed Language
Syllables take about the same amount of time (French)
Praat
Program used to analyze speech
Basic Emotions
Evolved to deal with social and survival issues. Present in all cultures.

Happiness, sadness, anger, fear
Secondary Emotions
Socially constructed emotions
Pre-Cognitive Emotion Theory
Quick. Emotional response occurs before cognitive appraisal.

Emotion created by music.
Kivy: Contour vs. Convention
Contour: natural connections (sighing=down, slow=sad)
Convention: Emotion derived from enculturation (plagal cadence=religious)
Meyer: Designated vs. Embodied Meaning
Designated: Stimulus and reference are different in kind (plagal cadence=religion, but not religious)
Embodied: Stimulus and reference are of the same kind (we expect something to happen, and if it doesn't, it is emotional for us) Gap filling
Berlyne's Inverted U Function
Listeners prefer moderate complexity of music. Musicians show shift to more complicated side.
Emotion's Adaptive Value
Emotion occurs because of a combination of arousal and cognitive ability. Ability to adapt to unexpected changes. Ability to anticipate helps you survive.
ITPRA
5 categories of expectancy response:
Pre-Event:
Imagination: imagine emotion without actually having it
Tension: right before event happens; physiological
Post-Event:
Prediction: whether or not you predicted correctly
Reaction to emotion
Appraisal: cognitive reaction
Multiple Mechanism Theory
Six mechanisms that give rise to emotion:
Brain Stem reaction: pre-cognitive emotion
Emotional Contagion: Perceiving emotion can induce emotion
Visual Imagery: slow ascending passage=sunrise
Episodic Memory: makes you remember
Musical Expectancy: Event violation
Brain Stem Reaction
Primitive reflex.
Pre-cognitive emotion; immediate
Evaluative Conditioning
Associate music with parts of our life. (ie. Happy birthday)
Emotional Contagion
Perceive emotions of people around us. (laughter is contagious)
Episodic Memory
Music reminds you of a memory
Musical Expectancy
Event violation
Cross-Modal Studies
Using multiple mediums (video and audio)
Mood-Congruent Stimuli
Mood of one stimuli is the same as another (ie. sad song and sad movie)
Cognitivist vs. Emotivist Position
Cognitivist: We don't feel, we just recognize that we have emotions

Emotivist: We feel emotions from music and our body reacts to those emotions (ie. chills)
Chromatic Mediant
Expecting 5 to go to 6, but instead it goes to b6. Chromatically inflected
Frisson
Chills
Musical Humor
Deriving humor from violations of musical expectations
Prediction Effect
We derive pleasure from having our expectations fulfilled
Veridical Expectation or Surprise
Expectations based on prior experience with a piece of music.
Schematic Expectation or Surprise
Violation of expectation derived from general musical knowledge
Dynamic Expectation or Surprise
Listener's expectation violated by composer
Mozart Effect
If you listen to Mozart, you will become smarter.
Rauscher
Bullshit
Blur Effect
Not just Mozart, but listening to any enjoyable music will increase spatial reasoning.
PF&C Test
Paper folding and cutting test. Predict spatially where cuts will go.
Arousal Effect
Any type of musical arousal will improve spatial ability
Correlation and Causation
Relationship between 2 variables vs. one causes the other
Auditory Imagery
Song stuck in head
Hybben and Palmer: sitting at keyboard, but not getting any audio output
Motor Imagery
Just imagining moving fingers
Just listening to the piece
Covert Practice
Internal; doesn't allow motor movements or audio stimuli. Not effective for learning music.
Serial Ordering Errors
When learning a piece, as you get further from the beginning, there are more and more errors.
Cascade Model of Processing
When reading music, you read a little ahead. Retrieve info from memory and plan motor activity at the same time.

Interaction between retrieval and motor
Microstructural Detail
Subtle changes added by performer: dynamics, rubato, tempo, etc.
Expressive Timing
Alteration of note duration or timing of note release to portray emotional affect
Musical "Switches"
Confusing A with A' and accidentally going into the wrong section of music
Adjudicator Bias
Audience has preconceived expectations of how good a performance will be based on professional status, dress, gender, etc.
Musical Savants
People who have low cognitive ability, but exceptional musical abilities.
