Hierarchical expectations of strong and weak beats

|
Rhythm
|
pattern of beats
|

same time over and over again. No change in timing.

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
|

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 |
