Joukkuevoimistelun harppaus- ja rengashyppyjen 2-dimensionaalinen analyysi
2010
Arkko, Terhi 2010. Joukkuevoimistelun harppaus- ja rengashyppyjen 2-dimensionaalinen analyysi. Liikuntabiologian laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto, 42 sivua. Joukkuevoimistelu on kehittynyt suomalaisesta naisvoimistelusta ja on ottanut vaikutteita tanssista sekä rytmisestä voimistelusta. Joukkuevoimistelun suorituksen tulee sisältää monipuolisesti erilaisia vartalon liikkeitä, tasapainoja ja hyppyjä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli vertailla joukkuevoimistelun harppaus- ja rengashyppyjen tekniikkaa lajin parhaimmistoon kuuluvilla voimistelijoilla. Tammikuussa 2010 tutkimukseen osallistui 17 joukkuevoimistelijaa kahdesta joukkueesta iältään 14–20 vuotta. Koehenkilöiltä mitattiin antropometris…
"Writing to Learn or Learning to Write". A Critical Review of "English as a Foreign Language" (EFL) Teaching Practices in Writing in Saudi Universiti…
2020
Developing proficiency in English writing has always been a challenge for L2 learners in general and Saudi learners in particular. Despite the widespread presence of English departments as a result of the sharp rise of Saudi universities in the previous decade, the numbers of outcomes or achievements in terms of skills are very discouraging. This paper aims to study this issue closely by investigating the most crucial elements that are likely to explain this weakness by reviewing the related empirical and theoretical studies in the Saudi context. This paper also aims to present to researchers a quick reference as to how English writing skills have evolved in Saudi Arabia in the recent past,…
Motown, Disco, and Drumming : An Exploration of the Relationship Between Beat Salience, Melodic Structure, and Perceived Tempo
2019
In a study of tempo perception, London, Burger, Thompson, and Toiviainen (2016) presented participants with digitally ‘‘tempo-shifted’’ R&B songs (i.e., sped up or slowed down without otherwise altering their pitch or timbre). They found that while participants’ relative tempo judgments of original versus altered versions were correct, they no longer corresponded to the beat rate of each stimulus. Here we report on three experiments that further probe the relation(s) between beat rate, tempo-shifting, beat salience, melodic structure, and perceived tempo. Experiment 1 is a replication of London et al. (2016) using the original stimuli. Experiment 2 replaces the Motown stimuli with disco mus…
Communicating voice emphasis in harpsichord performance
2009
We investigated the means used by harpsichordists to communicate voice-specific melodic emphasis. Twelve harpsichordists were asked to perform a short Baroque polyphonic piece by Frescobaldi (1583-1643) on a harpsichord equipped with a MIDI console. Three conditions were tested, each requiring performers to emphasize a particular voice in the piece (soprano, alto, tenor). Four parameters were analyzed: velocity, note onset asynchrony, timing deviations, and articulation. Mean onset asynchronies were much larger than those observed in organ or piano performance, averaging more than 100 ms between outer voices. However, asynchronies did not vary significantly between conditions, suggesting th…
