Movement & complexity. Effect of pattern complexity and expertise on movement kinematics during perception and reproduction of auditory rhythms
No full textIt is an open question whether the sensory motor synchronization stems from general musical ability (independent of music training) or the interaction of domain-specific cognitive and motor predictive processes.
The role of body movement in music-related activities has received increasing attention in recent years (e.g., Eerola, Luck & Toiviainen, 2006; Luck & Toiviainen, 2006; Palmer & DallaBella, 2004; Wanderley, Vines, Middleton, McKay & Hatch, 2005).
Here, we examine the role of body movement in the perception and reproduction of rhythmic patterns, focusing in particular on the influence of rhythmic complexity and expertise on movement kinematics. In addition, participants’ performance was evaluated qualitatively by the first author, and against the baseline of their spontaneous tempo.
We identified systematic relationships between rhythmic complexity and the spatiotemporal characteristics of body movement during both perception and reproduction
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
The Impact of Transposition Skills on Inhibitory Control Performance
Full text linkAbierto en el repositorio institucional de la University of Jyväskylä: http://urn.fi/URN:NBN:fi:jyu-201806053012Se estudió el efecto de las habilidades de transposición en la plasticidad del control inhibitorio. Un total de 64 participantes fueron divididos en un grupo de músicos (n = 34) y un grupo de no-músicos (n = 30). Se diseñaron tres tareas: transposición, Stroop musical y Stroop clásico. Los músicos tocaron su instrumento principal en dos condiciones: tocar-como-está-escrito o transpuesto. Los niveles de transposición fueron calculados de esta manera. Todos los participantes respondieron al Stroop musical y clásico. El Stroop musical consistió en escoger el nombre escrito de la nota e ignorar su ubicación en el pentagrama. Se aseguró que cada participante esté familiarizado con el sistema de notación, los nombres de las notas y la clave. El Stroop musical consistió en ignorar a la palabra escrita y en su lugar escoger el color percibido. Se calculó la precisión, tiempo de reacción y puntaje compuesto de ambas tareas. Las tareas Stroop generaron una respuesta de control inhibitorio. Sin embargo, no se detectaron diferencias en el desempeño de control inhibitorio de acuerdo al nivel de transposición.This study tests whether existing transposition skills have an impact upon inhibitory control. Differences in the degree of transposition practice could translate in different cognitive functionality of musicians and reveal further unexplored evidence of inhibitory control’s plasticity. A total of 64 participants were divided into a group of musicians (n = 34) and a group of non-musicians (n = 30). A transposition task, a music Stroop task and a classic Stroop task were designed. Musicians played their main instruments to play-as-written or transposed conditions from which transposition levels were calculated. All participants responded to the music and the classic Stroop task. The former required participants to choose the note written name while ignoring its location on the staff. Notation system, note-naming system and familiarity with a specific clef was ensured for every music participant. The latter consisted on a motor adaptation of the classic Stroop task where the written word had to be ignored and instead of that pick the perceived colour. Accuracy, reaction time and a composite score was calculated for both tasks. Stroop tasks succeeded in eliciting an inhibitory control response. However no inhibitory control performance differences according to the transposition skill level were detected
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Effects of Music on Emotion Regulation : A Systematic Literature Review
No full textMusic and its use for emotion regulation processes, to this day remains an unresolved question. Multiple experimental layouts encompassing its daily life use and clinical applications across different cultures and continents have preserved music as a self-regulative tool. Therefore it is seen as a very individual but by some researchers cross-culturally, accepted therapeutic tool. Large amounts of recent studies demonstrate the effects of music on emotion and emotionally evoked processes. A thorough literature search was conducted across the data bases for the timeframe from January 2001 to July 2012; CINAHL, EMBASE, PubMED, PsychINFO, The Cochrane Library, Eric, Psychology and behavioral science collection, SpringerLink, google scholar, picarta, Web of Science, Science Direct, DARE,Worldcat, and handsearch. Inclusion criteria encompassed youth/adolescents from 10 to 29, including healthy as well- as clinical populations. Music intervention and emotion regulation measures were viewed and included only when at least forms of music participation (singing, playing, listening, engagement) were noted in the study and effects on emotion regulation were directly measured. The interrelations between the effects of music on emotion regulation and the use of it as a purposeful instrument, e.g. music interventions for specific educational or therapeutic functions, yielded limited results. Music has a ’self regulative capacity’, but is restricted as valuable instrument for specific emotion regulation interventions. This review presents the effects of music on emotion regulation for youth population, detecting 1) insufficient adequate (clinical) studies about the purposeful use of music for emotion regulation, and 2) insufficient actively used music interventions, like listening, singing, playing in academically studies.unknown accessibilityei tietoa saavutettavuudest
