Q

how was stone used to indicate how to shape tools?

A
  • various sounds made when making stone tools which created selection pressures to evolve brains to be more sensitive to the auditory stimuli when carving the stone and get the shape of the blade properly without breaking

Q

what did the Pantev, Roberts, Schultz, Engelien, and Ross demonstrate about violinists and trumpeters response to tones?

A
  • violinists and trumpeters demonstrate a larger neural response to tones from practiced instruments
  • musical tones from instruments are “cultural artifacts”, different neural responses to these tools implies a shaping role of culture on brain

19
Q

how could simultaneous development of many of these categories of instruments, amongst disparate groups of people that never interacted, be explained?

A
  • independent
  • development that emerged due to biological constraints
20
Q

what are the five candidates for universals associated with temporal processing in the Drake and Bertrand study?

A
  • segmentation and grouping
  • predisposition toward regularity
  • active search for regularity
  • temporal zone for optimal processing
  • predisposition toward simple duration ratios
21
Q

segmentation and grouping

A

gestalt grouping laws

22
Q

predisposition towards regularity

A

preferences for more regular sounding structures
- symmetry&raquo_space; asymmetry

23
Q

active search for regularity

A

model building and testing
- chorus comes up in similar form

24
Q

temporal zone for optimal processing

A

differences in common timing parameters
- not too fast or slow

25
Q

predisposition toward simple duration ratios

A

types of notes

26
Q

what are the four types of universals cross-culturally in music in the Brown and Jordania study?

A
  • conserved universals
  • predominant patterns
  • common patterns
  • range universals
27
Q

conserved universals

A

things that can be said to be embodied in all forms of musical representations, encompassing things like the use of discreet pitches

28
Q

predominant patterns

A

things that occur in all musical systems and styles- precise rhythms and use of drums

29
Q

common patterns

A

rather than being universals, things that are widespread like the use of music in religious ceremonies

30
Q

range universals

A

certain categories of music/musical behavior that are expressed across wide range of possibilities
- just about all music can be categorized in terms of multipart texture

31
Q

monophony

A

texture consisting of a single line of musical tones

32
Q

homophony

A

musical texture of several parts in which one melody predominates, the other parts may be either simple chords or more elaborate accompaniment pattern

33
Q

polyphony

A

simultaneous combination of two or more tones or melodic lines

heterophony

A

simultaneous performance of different versions of same melody by different instruments or voices

35

  • ethnic or group identity
  • ceremonies and festivals
37
Q

what is WEIRD?

A

western
educated
industrialized
rich
democratic

38
Q

94% of published psych experiments are composed of participants from _____% of world’s population

A

12

39
Q

what implications does globalization have for the prospects of learning about brains that haven’t been indoctrinated by Western styles of music?

A
  • western music is widespread
  • wide range of exposure so it is difficult to isolate western influences from the rest of the world
