The Effects of Melodic Grouping and Meter on Eye Movements during Simple Sight-Reading Tasks
This study concerns the processes of eye movements during simple sight-reading tasks, concentrating on the processing of melodic groups separated by larger intervals and the effects of metrical placement of such groups. Thirty-two participants with varying musical background sight-read eight short melodies in two separate sessions. Eye movements during playing were recorded using an eye-tracker, and the performances on an electric piano with sequencer software. The melodies in question were of two types: melodic groupings were either aligned with the metrical divisions or made to overlap with them. The results indicate that reinspections to previously fixated notes during sight-reading increased with previous musical experience. During the performance of a single melody, the alignment of melodic groups with metrical units led to a gradual decrease of reinspections. Within the melodic groups themselves, the second notes of the groups received the largest total processing times. In addition, processing differences for notes involved in larger melodic intervals emerged depending on the visual placement of the notes within, or below, the staff system. Possible explanations of these findings as well as implications for future sight-reading studies will be discussed.

Sublexical effects on eye movements during repeated reading of words and pseudowords in Finnish
Hautala, Jarkko; Hyönä, Jukka; Aro, Mikko; Lyytinen, Heikki (Versita, 2011)The role of different orthographic units (letters, syllables, words) in reading of orthographically transparent Finnish language was studied by independently manipulating the number of letters (NoL) and syllables (NoS) ... -
Gestures and glances - the effects of familiarity and expertise on singers’ and pianists’ bodily movements in ensemble rehearsals
Ginsborg, Jane; King, Elaine C. (2009)The types, functions, sources and effects of musicians’ bodily movements have been studied in soloists’ live and recorded performances, to a lesser extent in their practice sessions and rehearsals, and in ensemble musicians’ ... -
Effects of 14-week strength training period on passive movement evoked fields, stretch reflex functioning, muscle strength and balance
Seipäjärvi, Santtu (2018)Strength training is known to affect the nervous system in various ways most often leading to improvements in performance. Changes occurring due to training or aging can provide us more information about the nervous system ... -
Breaking down the word length effect on readers’ eye movements
Hautala, Jarkko; Loberg, Otto (Routledge, 2015)Previous research on the effect of word length on reading confounded the number of letters (NrL) in a word with its spatial width. Consequently, the extent to which visuospatial and attentional-linguistic processes contribute ... -
The effect of a movement-to-music video program on the objectively measured sedentary time and physical activity of preschool-aged children and their mothers : A randomized controlled trial
Tuominen, Pipsa; Husu, Pauliina; Raitanen, Jani; Kujala, Urho; Luoto, Riitta M. (Public Library of Science, 2017)Regular physical activity (PA) and the avoidance of prolonged sitting are essential for children’s healthy growth, and for the physical and mental wellbeing of both children and adults. In the context of exercise, music ...
