6 <p>This experiment will consist of 32 short melodies presented in two
|
m@7
|
7 blocks. The first block contains 2 practice trials to familiarise you
|
m@7
|
8 with the programme. After the practice block, you will be able to
|
m@7
|
9 adjust the volume to a comfortable level and ask any questions you may
|
m@7
|
10 have. The main part of the experiment will follow on from the practice
|
m@7
|
11 block.</p>

|
13 <p>When each melody starts playing, a cross will appear in the centre
|
m@5
|
14 of the screen. You should focus on this cross while listening to the
|
m@7
|
15 melody.</p>
|
m@5
|
16
|
m@5
|
17 <p>Whilst listening to each melody, you will be prompted to judge how
|
m@7
|
18 expected or unexpected you find a given note. Shortly before these
|
m@5
|
19 notes, the cross will be replaced by a clock with a minute hand at 12
|
m@7
|
20 O'Clock. The hand will count down in time with the music. Pay
|
m@7
|
21 attention to the note that coincides with the hand returning to
|
m@7
|
22 12. You should judge how expected or unexpected this note is, given
|
m@7
|
23 what has gone before. Please use a scale of 1 (highly unexpected) to 7
|
m@7
|
24 (highly expected), making sure to use the full range. Respond using
|
m@7
|
25 number keys 1 to 7 on the keyboard.</p>
|
m@5
|
26
|
m@5
|
27 <p>The music will continue to play, so try to respond as quickly as
|
m@5
|
28 possible, however accuracy is more vital than speed. There is only one
|
m@7
|
29 chance to make your decision, once selected it cannot be changed.</p>
|
m@5
|
30
|
m@5
|
31 <p>After listening to each melody, you will be required to answer some
|
m@5
|
32 short questions relating to the music before listening to the next
|
m@5
|
33 piece.</p>
|
m@5
|
34
|
m@5
|
35 <p>If you have any questions please ask now. Otherwise, press
|
m@7
|
36 'Continue' to move directly to the practice block.</p>
