...Kathleen A. Corrigall; Barbara Tillmann; E. Glenn Schellenberg We used implicit and explicit tasks to measure knowledge of Western harmony in musically trained and untrained Canadian children. Younger children were 6–7 years of age; older children were 10–11. On each trial, participants heard...

... to V down by fifth, chords with less acoustical roughness, and chords with more semitones adjacent to V were all significant predictors of attraction ratings. musical attraction perception pre-dominant chord progression harmony “Harmonic function” is both a ubiquitous concept and one...

...Jan-Peter Herbst R esearch on rock harmony accords with common practice in guitar playing in that power chords (fifth interval) with an indeterminate chord quality as well as major chords are preferred to more complex chords when played with a distorted tone. This study explored the interrelated...

... throughout for the fundamentals of the tones. The chords were arranged in open harmony to increase the spectral distance between the tones. Each chord was gated using 50 ms raised-cosine ramps at onset and offset. This work was supported by the “Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft” [Transregio SFB...

...Jung Nyo Kim; Edward W. Large; Yeongjin Gwon; Richard Ashley The importance of harmony perception in understanding tonal melodies has been extensively studied, but underlying processes of implied harmonic perception remain unexplored. This study explores how listeners perceive implied harmony...

... when distortion was modified compared to when only harmony (triad vs. dyad) was modified between standards and deviants. The MMN responses were largest when distortion and harmony deviated simultaneously. Musicians demonstrated larger P3a responses than nonmusicians. The results suggest mostly...

..., and hypothesis testing—to investigate the influence of harmony on melodic behavior. In this study a comparison is made between models that use only melodic information and models that consider the melodic information along with the underlying harmonic accompaniment to predict melodic continuations. A test...

.... Key words: consonance, dissonance, harmony, sensory roughness, tonality In the physical world, there are vibrations in air pressure and other elastic media, but no sounds. As Helmholtz (1877/1912, p. 7) remarked, Sensations result from the action of an external stimulus on the sensitive apparatus...

... membership (which notes belong in a key) and harmony (chords and chord progressions). Previous research suggests sensitivity to key membership by 4 or 5 years, but provides no behavioral evidence of harmony perception until 6 or 7. Thus, we examined knowledge of key membership and harmony in 4- and 5-year...
