Perceptual representations mediate effects of stimulus properties on liking for music

Perceptual pleasure and its concomitant hedonic value play an essential role in every- day life, motivating behavior and thus influencing how individuals choose to spend their time and resources. However, how pleasure arises from perception of sensory infor- mation remains relatively poorly understo...

Aprenentatge sensorial Música Perceptual learning Music Perceptual pleasure and its concomitant hedonic value play an essential role in every- day life, motivating behavior and thus influencing how individuals choose to spend their time and resources.

The present research addresses this gap for the first time, analyzing perceptual and liking ratings of 96 nonmusicians (power of 0.99) and finding that perceptual represen- tations mediate effects of feature-based and information-based stimulus properties on liking for a novel set of melodies varying in balance, contour, symmetry, or complex- ity. Moreover, variability due to individual differences and stimuli accounts for most of the variance in liking. These results have broad implications for psychological research on sensory valuation, advocating a more explicit account of random variability and the mediating role of perceptual representations of stimulus properties.
