Expert musical reading is supported by activation of harmony rules during cross-modal integration

International audience; Multisensory integration of musical information is an important process in music reading. Integrate many sensory inputs (visual, auditory, motor) into a coherent pathway emerges during development of musical skill. We hypothesize that more skilled musicians can retrieve information across auditory and visual modalities, activating harmony rules as retrieval cues. The aim of the present research is to investigate this issue using the eye-tracking technique. Musicians (experts and non-experts) were asked to detect as fast as possible a modified note between listening and reading phases. Randomized fragments of classical music were sequentially versus simultaneously dis…

Sight-reading expertise: cross-modality integration investigated using eye tracking

International audience; It is often said that experienced musicians are capable of hearing what they read (and vice versa). This suggests that they are able to process and to integrate multimodal information. The present study investigates this issue with an eye-tracking technique. Two groups of musicians chosen on the basis of their level of expertise (experts, non-experts) had to read excerpts of poorly-known classical piano music and play them on a keyboard. The experiment was run in two consecutive phases during which each excerpt was (1) read without playing and (2) sight-read (read and played). In half the conditions, the participants heard the music before the reading phases. The exc…

La lecture numérique

International audience; La lecture numérique n’est pas équivalente à la lecture sur papier. Depuis plus d’une vingtaine d’années, les données montrent un déficit général de la perception et de la compréhension, lié à l’emploi des supports électroniques. Ce problème est plus que jamais d’actualité avec le développement croissant des réseaux informatiques, des bibliothèques virtuelles, des logiciels multimédia, des liseuses et des tablettes qui impliquent de nouveaux comportements et de nouvelles compétences du lecteur. L’ouvrage synthétise les découvertes et les développements théoriques apportés par la psychologie cognitive et l’ergonomie cognitive dans le domaine de la lecture numérique. T…
