Auditory feedback and memory for music performance: sound evidence for an encoding effect.

Research on the effects of context and task on learning and memory has included approaches that emphasize processes during learning (e.g., Craik & Tulving, 1975) and approaches that emphasize a match of conditions during learning with conditions during a ...

The perception of forward and backward placement of the singing voice.

Singing teachers sometimes characterize voice quality in terms of forward and backward placement. In view of traditional knowledge about voice production, it is hard to explain any possible acoustic or articulatory differences between the voices so ...

The formation of rhythmic categories and metric priming.

Two experiments on categorical rhythm perception are reported, the object of which was to investigate how listeners perceive discrete rhythmic categories while listening to rhythms performed on a continuous time scale. This is studied by considering the ...

Measuring and modeling real-time responses to music: the dynamics of tonality induction.

We examined a variety of real-time responses evoked by a single piece of music, the organ Duetto BWV 805 by J S Bach. The primary data came from a concurrent probe-tone method in which the probe tone is sounded continuously with the music. Listeners ...

Internal versus external locus of control: an analysis of music populations.

This study investigated the relationship between locus of control and chosen field of music specialization. The Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale was designed to assess the construct of locus of control and reinforcement, which is defined as the ...

The effects of different types of music on perceived and physiological measures of stress.

The effects of different types of music on perceived and physiological measures of stress were evaluated. Sixty undergraduate psychology students, 31 males and 29 females, rated their level of relaxation and completed the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory ...

The Mozart effect may only be demonstrable in nonmusicians.

The "Mozart effect" is the tendency to score higher on spatiotemporal IQ subscales following exposure to complex music such as Mozarts Sonata K.448. This phenomenon was investigated in 20 musicians and 20 nonmusicians. The trion model predicts increased ...

Modulated cortical control of individual fingers in experienced musicians: an EEG study. Electroencephalographic study.

OBJECTIVE: The present research was designed to address the nature of interdependency between fingers during force production tasks in subjects with varying experience in performing independent finger manipulation. Specifically, behavioral and ...

Serial position effects in semantic memory: reconstructing the order of verses of hymns.

Serial position effects (primacy and recency) have been consistently demonstrated in both short- and long-term episodic memory tasks. The search for corresponding effects in semantic memory tasks (e.g., reconstructing the order of U.S. presidents) has ...

The cortical topography of tonal structures underlying Western music.

Western tonal music relies on a formal geometric structure that determines distance relationships within a harmonic or tonal space. In functional magnetic resonance imaging experiments, we identified an area in the rostromedial prefrontal cortex that ...
