MEMORY AND LEARNING IN MUSIC COGNITION AND PERCEPTION

记忆和学习是音乐加工中的重要组成部分，但对这两个过程的实证研究仍然很少。在现有文献中很明显，造成这一缺陷的主要原因是难以制定一种针对各种研究问题的可行方法。随后，这种研究的缺失导致了一些潜在的研究问题有待解决。这项建议侧重于研究音乐记忆是如何在试验中发展的，以及可能促进音乐记忆和学习的潜在因素。因此，这项研究建议的具体目的是：1)发展一种系统的方法，研究人员可以通过它来研究对音乐的记忆和学习(从现有的曲目中)；2)研究音乐记忆和学习是如何在重复回忆中发展的；3)研究诸如呈现方式、训练方式和学习策略等因素对音乐记忆和学习的影响程度；4)研究音乐和语音处理之间潜在的相似或分离。希望这项研究不仅提供更好地促进一般音乐处理的方法(例如，音乐教育)，而且还希望我们可以结合正在进行的涉及其他人群的研究(例如，衰老、大脑半球损伤)来考虑这项工作。功能的衰退或分离可能会导致关键线索，以更好地理解认知加工中的信息通路。

Memory and learning are critical components in music processing, yet there remains a dearth in the empirical investigation of these processes. It is evident within the existing literature that the primary reason for this deficiency involves difficulty in developing a workable methodology to target various research questions. Subsequently, this lack of research results in a number of potential research questions yet to be addressed. This proposal focuses on investigating how memory for music develops across trials, and potential factors that may facilitate memory for and learning of music. As such, the specific aims of this research proposal are to: 1) develop a systematic methodology through which researchers may study memory for and learning of music (from the existing repertoire); 2) examine how musical memory and learning develops over repeated recall; 3) examine the extent to which factors such as presentation style, mode of training, and learning strategy affects memory for and learning of music; 4) examine potential parallels or dissociation between music and speech processing. It is hoped that this research will not only provide methods to better facilitate music processing in general (e.g., music education), but also so that we may consider this work in light of ongoing research involving other populations (e,g., aging, hemispheric impairment). Decline or dissociation in function can lead to critical clues to better understand information pathways in cognitive processing.
