Abstract

Synaesthesia has often been linked to an artistic or creative temperament, but the nature of this link (and, hence, the possible underpinning mechanisms) are poorly understood. This study focusses primarily on people with synaesthesia who have visual experiences, including color, that are induced by music. We determine how this impacts their musical preferences and musical sophistication using previously validated self-report measures and contrast them against non-synaesthetes and synaesthetes with non-musical types. Our data show that people with music-color synaesthesia gravitate toward certain genres (e.g., Reflective and Complex) and show more active engagement with music relative to controls and other synaesthetes. However, synaesthesia as a whole is also linked to greater musical sophistication (e.g., perceptual abilities). A second study examines in detail the nature of associations from musical notes to colors in synaesthetes relative to non-synaesthetes. Synaesthetes have a distinctive way of associating colors with notes: They are more consistent over time, show a more sensitive pitch-luminance correspondence, and have a distinctive color palette (e.g., more browns, fewer greens). These indicative features can be used to determine the presence of this form of synaesthesia.
共感与音乐偏好和音乐复杂程度的差异以及独特的声色联想模式有关
共感常被认为与艺术或创造性气质有关,但人们对这种联系的性质(以及可能的基础机制)却知之甚少。本研究主要关注由音乐诱发的视觉体验(包括色彩)的共感症患者。我们使用先前验证过的自我报告测量方法来确定这对他们的音乐偏好和音乐修养有何影响,并将他们与非共感症患者和非音乐型共感症患者进行对比。我们的数据显示,与对照组和其他共感症患者相比,音乐色彩共感症患者倾向于某些类型的音乐(如反思型和复杂型),并表现出更积极地参与音乐活动。然而,联觉作为一个整体也与更高的音乐复杂性(如感知能力)有关。第二项研究详细探讨了共感症患者与非共感症患者从音符到颜色的联想性质。联觉过敏者将颜色与音符联系起来的方式与众不同:他们的联想随着时间的推移更加一致,显示出更加敏感的音高-亮度对应关系,并具有独特的调色板(如棕色较多、绿色较少)。这些指示性特征可用于确定是否存在这种形式的共感。

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.
