Inattentional deafness under dynamic musical conditions
2009
While inattentional blindness is a modern classic in attention and perception research, analogous phenomena of inattentional deafness are less well-known. In music, inattentional deafness has never been demonstrated under controlled experimental conditions, despite of indirect evidence for related effects. We tested inattentional deafness with real music in both musicians and non-musicians. Participants listened to the first 1’50” of Richard Strauss’ Thus Spake Zarathustra, with the experimental group having the task of counting the number of tympani beats and the control group just listening. The unexpected event was an e-guitar solo during the last 20s of this sequence. In Study 1, among …
La competenza esperta. Tipologie e trasmissione
2021
Today, the crisis of expertise coincides with the role that political and scientific decisions have assumed in tackling and solving enormous community problems: from environmental pollution to immigration, from vaccines to pandemics. On the one hand, there is an urgent need for the expertise of specialists, acquired by degrees, or the tacit, embedded knowledge of 'amateurs by profession', who intercede and translate between several areas of knowledge. On the other, this knowledge and skill is opposed, and everyone feels entitled to have their say. It is a paradox.
Teacher-researchers Exploring Design-based Research to Develop Learning Designs in Higher Education Language Teaching
2012
Due to constant changes and developments of the 21st century societies and working life, the environments in which learning takes place have changed. Novel ways to research learning in those environments and to explore how learning could be supported with the learning design are needed in order to bring about changes in teaching practices. One of those ways could be design-based research (DBR), an iterative, interventionist and flexible research strategy, which would allow cycles of developing theory of learning as well as implementing design principles in practice. This article describes how we, as teacher-researchers, have adopted a design-based research approach in two separate studies i…
Temporal constraints and creativity in bass lines of eminent jazz musicians
2023
Tämän eksploratiivisen tutkimuksen ensimmäisenä päätavoitteena on selvittää, miten päätöksentekoon ja toiminnan suunnitteluun käytettävissä oleva aika (esitettävän musiikin tempon ja harmonisen rytmin mukaan mitattuna) on yhteydessä luovuuteen huipputason jazzbasistien bassolinjoissa, kun luovuutta mitataan sävelkuvioiden vaihtelevuutena. Tutkimuksen toisena päätavoitteena on selvittää, onko laajan tietovaraston oppiminen välttämätön edellytys luovuudelle bassolinjojen rakentamisen yhteydessä. Aineisto koostuu 42:sta Paul Chambersin ja Ron Carterin bassolinjan nuotinnoksesta, joissa kaikki neljäsosanuoteista poikkeavat sävelkestot on joko poistettu tai muutettu neljäsosanuoteiksi. Aineiston…
Expertise sharing in the field of court
2011
This article focuses on the challenges of multilingual court work in Finland. The goal of the article is to describe on the basis of one interpreting event the kind of problems that can be found in the court work regarding the collaboration of two professions: the court interpreters and the legal professionals. The point of departure is to answer the question: how do legal professionals and court interpreters collaborate in the court? First, the article argues for the need of shared expertise and multiprofessional collaboration in the field of legal translating and court interpreting. This claim is justified by a short description of a legal translation, some recent interviews, a survey, an…
Tune recognition from melody, rhythm and harmony
2009
Earlier studies have shown that listeners recognise familiar tunes. With tunes that are manipulated in some way, melody has been shown to be more important for recognition than rhythm. The present study examined the importance of melody, rhythm and harmony for tune recognition by listeners with varying musical expertise. Forty-six participants, divided into three groups according to their musical expertise, heard the first two phrases of familiar tunes in four different versions: melody, rhythm, melody with harmony and rhythm with harmony. The participants were asked to identify the tunes. A two-factor ANOVA was conducted with the four versions of presentation and the three groups of partic…
Making experts-by-experience : governmental ethnography of participatory initiatives in Finnish social welfare organisations
2018
This dissertation analyses expertise-by-experience in Finnish social welfare organisations as part of the participatory practices presented as new democracy. It employs a governmental ethnographic method to investigate how a person with difficult experiences is made into ‘an expert of one’s own life’ and how the subjectivity thus created is connected to different possibilities and rationales of participation. It asks: 1. What characterises the subjectivities created in the initiatives? 2. How (through which practices) are the participants constructed as experts? In this summary article the democratic quality of expert-making practices is interpreted through a critical democratic lens by inq…
