本研究采用启动实验范式,通过测量反应时,探讨了音乐期待的认知过程。受试者对一个目标和弦做出快速的真/假判断,该目标和弦与一个主和弦在和声上关系密切或疏远。在实验1中使用主要/次要决策任务,我们发现,主要目标被确定得更快,错误更少,当它们相关时,比不相关时。对于次要目标,这种效应的明显缺失(以及可能的逆转)可以归因于主要目标对目标稳定性的偏置效应。在实验2和3中,我们测试了这一假设,分别采用调/调的决定,主要和次要目标。无论是主要的和次要的目标,确定更快时,相关的比不相关的。我们概述了一个扩散激活模型,它由一个网络的和谐关系。启动的结果是通过网络连接的弦节点的间接激活。
The cognitive processes underlying musical expectation were explored by measuring reaction time in a priming paradigm. Subjects made a speeded true/false decision about a target chord following a prime chord to which it was either closely or distantly related harmonically. Using a major/minor decision task in Experiment 1, we found that major targets were identified faster, and with fewer errors, when they were related than when unrelated. An apparent absence (and possible reversal) of this effect for minor targets can be attributed to the prime's biasing effect on the target's stability. In Experiments 2 and 3 we tested this hypothesis by employing an in-tune/out-of-tune decision for major and minor targets separately. Both major and minor in-tune targets were identified faster when related than when unrelated. We outline a spreading activation model which consists of a network of harmonic relations. Priming results from the indirect activation of chord nodes linked through the network.
