Event organization: mental organization of musical event of a given piece, real-tine processing of musical events and patterns within the context of a learned system of relations, ongoing tmeportant sequences of events. Stimultus grouping structure/ metric structure (how we assign beats) time span segmentation time span reduction* prolongational reduction stability condition * ***look at the schematic diagram on slides but grouping and metric structures are not as initially thought. Similarity, in vision, also in music , change in loudness, pitch, articulation, how long the sound is, change the duration, the timber: duration difference and acoustic differences instead of proximity and similarity. Metric hierarchy: beat induction (determine underlying pulse, interaction between grouping and subjective accent perception to determine where to place beats at higher levels of the metric hierarchy.
