Abstract

Empirical evidence has supported that musical excerpts written in major and minor modes are responsible for evoking happiness and sadness, respectively. In this study, we evaluated whether the emotional content evoked by musical stimuli would transfer to abstract figures when they became members of the same equivalence class. Participants assigned to the experimental group were submitted to a training procedure to form equivalence classes comprising musical excerpts (A) and meaningless abstract figures (B, C, and D). Afterward, transfer of function was evaluated using a semantic differential. Participants in the control group showed positive semantic differential scores for major mode musical excerpts, negative scores for minor mode musical excerpts, and neutral scores for the B, C, and D stimuli. Participants in the experimental groups showed positive semantic differential scores for visual stimuli equivalent to the major modes and negative semantic differential scores for visual stimuli equivalent to the minor modes. These results indicate transfer of function of emotional content present in musical stimuli through equivalence class formation. These findings could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the effects of using emotional stimuli in equivalence class formation experiments and in transfer of function itself.

基于使用音乐刺激形成等价类的函数转移。
经验证据表明,以主要模式和次要模式创作的音乐节选分别是唤起快乐和悲伤的原因。在这项研究中,我们评估了当音乐刺激引发的情感内容成为同一等价类的成员时,它们是否会转移到抽象人物身上。被分配到实验组的参与者接受了一个训练程序,以形成由音乐节选(a)和无意义抽象图形(B、C和D)组成的等价课程。然后,使用语义微分来评估函数的传递。对照组的参与者在主模式音乐节选的语义差异得分为正,在副模式音乐节选中得分为负,在B、C和D刺激中得分为中性。实验组的参与者在相当于主要模式的视觉刺激中表现出积极的语义差异得分,在相当于次要模式的视觉激励中表现出消极的语义差异分数。这些结果表明,音乐刺激中存在的情感内容的功能通过等价类的形成而转移。这些发现可以更全面地理解在等价类形成实验和函数传递本身中使用情绪刺激的影响。
