Abstract

This study investigates the effect of chord duration on the relative salience of chord-type and voicing changes. Participants ( N = 111) with varying levels of musical training were presented with sequences of five block chords on the piano and asked to indicate which chord sounded most different. Each sequence consisted of three identical chords and two oddballs, one with a voicing change and one with a chord-type change. All possible chord-type pairings between standard and oddball formed of major, minor, dominant seventh, major seventh, and minor seventh chords were tested. In addition, each sequence of five chords was tested using three chord duration conditions (500, 1,000, and 1,500 ms), and the durations were pseudo-randomized throughout the experiment. Chord-type changes became more salient with longer durations and this effect could be seen for all participants regardless of their levels of musical training. However, with higher level of musical training, chord-type changes became more salient across all duration conditions. Leman’s model of tonal contextuality suggests that the effect of duration in our experiment could be explained by sensory mechanisms related to echoic memory. The potential contribution of other factors to the effect of duration is discussed.

和弦长短对和弦类型和声部变化相对显著性的影响

本研究探讨了和弦持续时间对和弦类型和发声变化相对显著性的影响。研究人员在钢琴上向受过不同程度音乐训练的参与者（111 人）展示了五组和弦序列，并要求他们指出哪组和弦听起来差异最大。每个序列由三个相同的和弦和两个奇数组成，其中一个是变音和弦，另一个是和弦类型变化和弦。标准和弦和由大和弦、小和弦、主七和弦、大七和弦和小七和弦组成的奇数和弦之间所有可能的和弦类型配对都进行了测试。此外，每个由五个和弦组成的序列都使用了三种和弦持续时间条件（500、1000 和 1,500 毫秒）进行测试，并且在整个实验过程中对持续时间进行了伪随机化。和弦类型的变化在持续时间越长的情况下越明显，所有参与者，无论其音乐训练水平如何，都能看到这种效果。然而，随着音乐训练水平的提高，和弦类型的变化在所有持续时间条件下都变得更加突出。莱曼的音调语境模型表明，在我们的实验中，持续时间的影响可以通过与回声记忆有关的感觉机制来解释。本文还讨论了其他因素对时长效应的潜在影响。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Music and SEMPRE provide an international forum for researchers working in the fields of psychology of music and music education, to encourage the exchange of ideas and to disseminate research findings. Psychology of Music publishes peer-reviewed papers directed at increasing the scientific understanding of any psychological aspect of music. These include studies on listening, performing, creating, memorising, analysing, describing, learning, and teaching, as well as applied social, developmental, attitudinal and therapeutic studies. Special emphasis is placed on studies carried out in naturalistic settings, especially those which address the interface between music psychology and music education.
