Behavioral and physiological bases of relaxing and stimulating effects of odors and music
2021
This doctoral thesis examines the psychological and physiological mechanisms as well as the factors involved in the relaxing and stimulating effect (emotional activation) of pleasant odors, building on research work from the music domain. In Studies 1a and 1b, we observed that the modulation of the activation induced by odors influenced temporal information processing by speeding-up or slowing-down the rate of the internal clock pacemaker, similarly to what was previously reported using musicalstimuli. Moreover, prior verbalsuggestion attributing incongruent activation properties to the odors eliminated these effects, highlighting the importance of a priori expectancies on olfactory-induced…
Acquiring music information : An incidental learning approach.
2022
This thesis contains my empirical works resulting from three years of studying contingency learning, that is the human ability to learn regularities between two or more events, applied to music. Learning music requires time and effort. However, many skills can be automatized in less time-consuming and effortful ways. Indeed, some research suggests that many elements of music knowledge are mostly implicitly acquired. In Chapter 1, the potential benefit of using an incidental learning procedure to automatize musical sub-skills useful for sight-reading and for pitch identification is discussed. In Chapter 2, the first set of experiments investigate whether an incidental contingency learning ta…
