尽管不同文化背景的人都能以叙事的方式体验音乐，但事实证明，音乐的叙事维度是来自一种文化中习得的音乐外联想，还是来自音乐中不那么依赖经验的元素，比如音乐的对比。为此，两个实验调查了影响听众对音乐的叙事投入的因素，比较了美国郊区两个地点的听众和中国偏远农村不同音乐暴露模式的听众对西方和中国器乐的叙事体验。第一个实验的结果表明，对于西方听众来说，更多的主题，而不是更大的对比度，会增加叙事参与度，只要听众对其在一种文化中的使用模式有足够的暴露，这支持了一种文化灌输的观点，即习得的音乐外联想(即话题性)在音乐的叙事感知中发挥着重要作用。第二个实验直接操纵了话题性和对比度，结果加强了这一解释，结果表明，减少摘录的话题性而不是对比度会降低听众的叙事参与度。
ALTHOUGH PEOPLE ACROSS MULTIPLE CULTURES have been shown to experience music narratively, it has proven difficult to disentangle whether narrative dimensions of music derive from learned extramusical associations within a culture or from less experience-dependent elements of the music, such as musical contrast. Toward this end, two experiments investigated factors contributing to listeners' narrative engagement with music, comparing the narrative experiences of Western and Chinese instrumental music for listeners in two suburban locations in the United States with those of listeners living in a remote rural village in China with different patterns of musical exposure. Supporting an enculturation perspective where learned extramusical associations (i.e., Topicality) play an important role in narrative perceptions of music, results from the first experiment show that for Western listeners, greater Topicality, rather than greater Contrast, increases narrative engagement, as long as listeners have sufficient exposure to its patterns of use within a culture. Strengthening this interpretation, results for the second experiment, which directly manipulated Topicality and Contrast, show that reducing an excerpt's Topicality, but not its Contrast reduces listeners' narrative engagement.
