Temporal Cues in the Judgment of Music Emotion for Normal and Cochlear Implant Listeners

Several studies have established that Cochlear implant (CI) listeners rely on the tempo of music to judge the emotional content of music. However, a re-analysis of a study in which CI listeners judged the emotion conveyed by piano pieces on a scale from happy to sad revealed a weak correlation betwe...

description Several studies have established that Cochlear implant (CI) listeners rely on the tempo of music to judge the emotional content of music. However, a re-analysis of a study in which CI listeners judged the emotion conveyed by piano pieces on a scale from happy to sad revealed a weak correlation between tempo and emotion. The present study explored which temporal cues in music influence emotion judgments among normal hearing (NH) listeners, which might provide insights into the cues utilized by CI listeners. Experiment 1 was a replication of the Vannson et al. study with NH listeners using rhythmic patterns of piano created with congas. The temporal cues were preserved while the tonal ones were removed. The results showed (i) tempo was weakly correlated with emotion judgments, (ii) NH listeners’ judgments for congas were similar to CI listeners’ judgments for piano. In Experiment 2, two tasks were administered with congas played at three different tempi: emotion judgment and a tapping task to record listeners’ perceived tempo. Perceived tempo was a better predictor than the tempo, but its physical correlate, mean onset-to-onset difference (MOOD), a measure of the average time between notes, yielded higher correlations with NH listeners’ emotion judgments. This result suggests that instead of the tempo, listeners rely on the average time between consecutive notes to judge the emotional content of music. CI listeners could utilize this cue to judge the emotional content of music.
