Research Abstract |
Music is unique in that it commonly provides listeners with certain impressions or affects. The present study examined impression-formation processes based on multiple factors, specifically, harmony processing based on subjective consonance and goodness of continuation. To this end, I used a new experimental paradigm, a temporally-selective appreciation task. Listeners often failed to ignore the factor of goodness of continuation under various conditions, suggesting a high degree of automaticity of continuation processing or difficulties in correctly attributing such affective information to its origin.
