Tapping Doesn't Help : Synchronized Self-Motion and Judgments of Musical Tempo
2019
For both musicians and music psychologists, beat rate (BPM) has often been regarded as a transparent measure of musical speed or tempo, yet recent research has shown that tempo is more than just BPM. In a previous study, London, Burger, Thompson, and Toiviainen (Acta Psychologica, 164, 70–80, 2016) presented participants with original as well as “time-stretched” versions of classic R&B songs; time stretching slows down or speeds up a recording without changing its pitch or timbre. In that study we discovered a tempo anchoring effect (TAE): Although relative tempo judgments (original vs. time-stretched versions of the same song) were correct, they were at odds with BPM rates of each stimulus…
Two studies investigating the value of DJing for contemporary music education
2014
This research investigated the importance of cognitive skills learned through DJing and perspectives on the potential value of DJing for music education through two studies. The first was a qualitative investigation into contemporary perspectives on the potential value of DJing for music education. Participants were asked three questions in order to establish their perceptions concerning the cultural relevance of DJing regarding the skills that might be learned through DJing and how DJing might be incorporated into formal music education curriculums. Perspectives emerged that showed a majority of participants believed that DJs learn valuable musical skills, DJing had equal relevance with ot…
The Relationship between Auditory Imagery and Musical Synchronization Abilities in Musicians
2009
Musical ensemble performance requires precise action coordination. To maintain synchrony in the presence of expressive tempo variations, musicians presumably anticipate the sounds that will be produced by their co-performers and coordinate their own anticipated actions with these predictions. Anticipatory auditory images in pitch and time may facilitate such predictions. Two experiments were conducted to examine the contribution of different aspects of auditory imagery abilities to sensorimotor synchronization (SMS) in musicians. In Experiment 1, the acuity of single-tone pitch images was measured by an adjustment method and by adaptive threshold estimation. Different types of finger tappin…
An integrative dual-route model of rhythm perception and production
2009
An integrative dual-route model of rhythm perception and production is proposed here. Furthermore, an empirical study illustrated in the second part of this paper provides evidence of the existence of two different cognitive pathways. The development of the model is based on fundamental psychological principles of perception, action control and relevant neurobiological findings in rhythm processing and sensorimotor synchronization. Experiments with a dual-task paradigm were used during synchronization tapping to verify the fundamental assumptions of the model. The aim was to examine whether professional drummers show a change in tapping performance when their attention is drawn to another t…
Wzajemne oddziaływanie norm prawa upadłościowego i restrukturyzacyjnego oraz norm prawa podatkowego w procesie ich tworzenia i stosowania – wstęp do …
2021
Problematyka istnienia norm różnych dziedzin prawa, które wzajemnie na siebie oddziaływają, nie jest zjawiskiem nowym. Niemniej w przypadku gdy stosowanie jednych z nich wyklucza inne normy prawa bądź też prowadzi do osłabienia ich oddziaływania, jest to sytuacja niepożądana. Dotyczy to zarówno jednostki, jak i organów władzy publicznej. Normy prawa upadłościowego i restrukturyzacyjnego nie zawsze uwzględniają specyfikę prawa podatkowego – i odwrotnie. W rezultacie w trudnych z natury postępowaniach upadłościowych i restrukturyzacyjnych pojawiają się dodatkowo niełatwe zagadnienia podatkowe, co stwarza niepotrzebne ryzyko w działaniach stron, organów i sądów. Wymaga to dodatkowej wiedzy, cz…
