The reciprocal link between music and movement studied through music-induced movements
2014
Music and movement are inseparable. The movements that are spontaneously procuded when listening to music are thought to be related to the close relationship between the perceptual and motor system in listeners. This particular link is the main topic of this thesis. A first approach was focused on the impact of music-induced movements on music cognition. In two studies, we show that moving along to music neither enhances the retention of new musical pieces (Study 1) nor the retention of the contextual information related to their encoding (Study 2). These results suggest a shallow processing inherent to the expression of musical affordances required for the production of music-induced movem…
Para uma cooperação da escuta e do movimento: Estudo intercultural sobre a percepção dos ritmos tradicionais do Xangô (Olinda, PE)
2010
Combining musical cognition and ethnomusicological approaches, this article seeks to verify if the capacity of recognizing and actually doing the appropriate beat of musical rhythms after listening to musical excerpts is influenced by the movements of the body. We would like to show to what extent variables like "musical competence" ("musicians" and "non-musicians") and "cultural origin" ("Brazilians" and "French") do influence such capacity. We try to answer these questions by applying an experimental protocol designed for that end. The musical rhythms used in the experiment are drawn from the musical and religious traditions of the xangô african-brazilian cult, as they are practiced in Ol…
