Abstract

Music offers a useful opportunity to consider the factors contributing to the experience of curiosity in the context of dynamically changing stimuli. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the perception of change in music triggers curiosity as to how the heard music will unfold. Participants were presented with unfamiliar musical excerpts and asked to provide continuous ratings of their subjective experience of curiosity and calm, and their perception of change, as the music unfolded. As hypothesized, we found that for all musical pieces, the perceptual experience of change Granger-caused feelings of curiosity but not feelings of calm. Our results suggest music is a powerful tool with which to examine the factors contributing to curiosity induction. Accordingly, we outline ways in which extensions to the approach taken here may be useful: both in elucidating our information-seeking drive more generally, and in elucidating the manifestation of this drive during music listening.
从对音乐变化的感知中产生的好奇心
音乐提供了一个有用的机会来考虑在动态变化的刺激背景下促成好奇心体验的因素。在这里,我们测试了一个假设,即对音乐变化的感知会引发人们对所听到的音乐将如何展开的好奇心。研究人员向参与者展示了一段不熟悉的音乐片段,并要求他们对自己的好奇心和冷静的主观体验,以及随着音乐的播放,他们对变化的感知进行持续评分。正如假设的那样,我们发现对于所有的音乐作品,变化的感知体验引起了好奇的感觉,而不是平静的感觉。我们的研究结果表明,音乐是一种强有力的工具,可以用来检查导致好奇心诱导的因素。因此,我们概述了这里所采取的方法的扩展可能有用的方法:既可以更普遍地阐明我们的信息寻求驱动,也可以阐明这种驱动在听音乐时的表现。
