The Development of Sensitivity to Tonality Structure of Music
Tonal schemata are shaped by culture-specific music exposure. The acquisition process of tonal schemata has been delineated in Western mono-musical children, but cross-cultural variations have not been explored. We examined how Japanese children acquire tonal schemata in a bi-musical culture characterized by the simultaneous, and unbalanced, appearances of Western (dominant) music along with traditional Japanese (non-dominant) music. Progress of …
Do local properties function as cues for musical key perception? 1
A global property (i.e., pitch set) of a melody appears to serve as a primary cue for key identification. Previous studies have proposed specific local properties in a melody (e.g., the augmented fourth, the perfect fifth, etc.) that may function as further cues. However, the role of the latter in key identification is controversial. The present study was designed to investigate what kinds of local properties, if any, function as reliable cues fo…
Cognition and emotion in music
Wherever there are human beings, music exists. It is in this sense that music is universal. Today, in many countries or communities, including Japan, music is associated with “art,”“entertainment”, or considered a “hobby.” Music is thus relegated to the realm of a “surplus” non-essential (even frivolous) activity. However, in a certain mountainous area in South-East Asia, young men are still required to spontaneously improvise a song in order to …
Perceiving emotion in children's songs across age and culture 1
We explored children's and adults’ ability to perceive the emotional intent of sung performances by Canadian children who were 8–10 years old. Experiment 1 revealed that Canadian listeners were more accurate on happy renditions than on sad renditions of songs and on skilled (“good”) than on unskilled (“ordinary”) performances. Moreover, children's accuracy was greater than that of adults. In Experiment 2, Japanese children and adults with limited…
Cognitive modeling of key interpretation in melody perception 1
We constructed a computational model that predicted a plausible key and the degree of tonality for any given melody sequence (pitch sequence), through a step‐wise or incremental series of computations. In an experiment, 13 musically trained participants listened to 30 Bach fugue subjects and random tone sequences and were asked to identify plausible keys and rate the tonality of the keys. The incremental predictions of our computational model wer…
Processing of Attended and Unattended Verbal Materials in Dichotic Listening
20 Ss performed a dichotic listening task with simultaneous pairs of spoken digits given under different conditions of pair numbers (3, 4, 5 & 6 pairs) and presentation rates (4, 3, 2, 1 & 1/2 pairs per sec), while his attention was restricted to one of the two ears (attended ear). The recall level of unattended ear was more affected by the pair number conditions than by the presentation rates. Number of recalled items in all conditions was nearl…
