Document Summary

Bigand (1993) proposed a dynamic model of how grouping, metric and time-span reduction structures are assembled within a sliding window representing a buffer of working memory. In a, the listener experiences musical events in successive zones, symbolized by a sliding window. In b, for each zone, the listener extracts the metric structure of events (represented by black dots) and one or several levels of grouping structure (represented by parentheses). In c, the musical information contained in each zone is then organized and represented hierarchically. Context dependent structural functions in music: priming paradigm. The priming paradigm is an attempt to get away from explicit ratings by listeners. When it is out of tune, one of the notes is mistuned by a quarter-tone, making it very dissonant. The question is whether the preceding context will affect performance on this simple task in terms of reaction time and accuracy of judgment (i. e. , getting it right or wrong).
