“…For example, it is well known that people learn and remember metrical rhythms better than nonmetrical ones (Povel, 1984;Povel & Essens, 1985). Similarly, there is a strong bias in perception and production toward 1:2 interval ratios, such that people will distort intervals to fit this pattern (Collier & Wright, 1995). These findings present a puzzle, since nonmetrical timing seems to exemplify timing in nonmusicalactivitiessuch as speech and motor skills.…”

Two experiments demonstrate that people can implicitly learn rhythms. Participants responded to a series of fast-paced beeps by pressing a key as soon as possible after each beep. They were not told that the duration (180, 450, or 1,125 msec) between each keypress and the next beep was specified by a repeating sequence. In both experiments, participants responded significantly faster to predictable, sequenced timing than to random timing but did not show more knowledge of the sequence than did control participants on explicit memory measures. This dissociation was obtained even with an explicit memory test in Experiment 2 that maintained the same context and response metric as the implicit task to maximize the transfer of relevant knowledge. Implications for temporal cognition are discussed.

“…In Experiment 3, we attempted to more radically undermine the possibility ofmusical encoding by using complex .50 ratios among the stimulus elements, which are known to be difficult to process musically (Collier & Wright, 1995;Essens & Povel, 1985). Using this strategy, Glenberg and Jona (1991) were able to reduce the auditory advantage.…”

Prior research has established that performance in short-term memory tasks using auditory rhythmic stimuli is frequently superior to that in tasks usingvisual stimuli, In fiveexperiments, the reasons for this were explored further. In a same-different task, pairs of brief rhythms were presented in which each rhythm was visual or auditory, resulting in two same-modality conditions and two cross-modality conditions. Three different rates of presentation were used. The results supported the temporal advantage of the auditory modality in short-term memory, which was quite robust at the quickest presentation rates. This advantage tended to decay as the presentation rate was slowed down, consistent with the view that, with time, the temporal patterns were being recoded into a more generic form.

“…Although difficult to perform, higher order frequency ratios have been investigated in tapping tasks (e.g., Boonstra, Daffertshofer, Breakspear, & Beek, 2007;Deutsch, 1983;Klapp, Nelson, & Jagacinski, 1998;Kurtz & Lee, 2003), most often with skilled musicians (e.g., Bogacz, 2005;Collier & Wright, 1995;Peper et al, 1995a,b;Summers, Todd, & Kim, 1993). Presumably, skilled musicians have developed internal representations of various rhythms that can be used or adapted to produce the goal coordination pattern (see section on visual and auditory models).…”

Perception and action influences on discrete and reciprocal bimanual coordination

For nearly four decades bimanual coordination, Ba prototype of complex motor skills^and apparent Bwindow into the design of the brain,^has been intensively studied. Past research has focused on describing and modeling the constraints that allow the production of some coordination patterns while limiting effective performance of other bimanual coordination patterns. More recently researchers have identified a coalition of perception-action constraints that hinder the effective production of bimanual skills. The result has been that given specially designed contexts where one or more of these constraints are minimized, bimanual skills once thought difficult, if not impossible, to effectively produce without very extensive practice can be executed effectively with little or no practice. The challenge is to understand how these contextual constraints interact to allow or inhibit the production of complex bimanual coordination skills. In addition, the factors affecting the stability of bimanual coordination tasks needs to be re-conceptualized in terms of perception-related constraints arising from the environmental context in which performance is conducted and action constraints resident in the neuromotor system.
