It is an open question whether the sensory motor synchronization stems from general musical ability (independent of music training) or the interaction of domain-specific cognitive and motor predictive processes. The role of body movement in music-related activities has received increasing attention in recent years (e.g., Eerola, Luck & Toiviainen, 2006; Luck & Toiviainen, 2006; Palmer & DallaBella, 2004; Wanderley, Vines, Middleton, McKay & Hatch, 2005). Here, we examine the role of body movement in the perception and reproduction of rhythmic patterns, focusing in particular on the influence of rhythmic complexity and expertise on movement kinematics. In addition, participants’ performance was evaluated qualitatively by the first author, and against the baseline of their spontaneous tempo. We identified systematic relationships between rhythmic complexity and the spatiotemporal characteristics of body movement during both perception and reproduction.

Abstract
It is an open question whether the sensory motor synchronization stems from general musical ability (independent of music training) or the interaction of domain-specific cognitive and motor predictive processes. The role of body movement in music-related activities has received increasing attention in recent years (e.g., Eerola, Luck & Toiviainen, 2006; Luck & Toiviainen, 2006; Palmer & DallaBella, 2004; Wanderley, Vines, Middleton, McKay & Hatch, 2005). Here, we examine the role of body movement in the perception and reproduction of rhythmic patterns, focusing in particular on the influence of rhythmic complexity and expertise on movement kinematics. In addition, participants’ performance was evaluated qualitatively by the first author, and against the baseline of their spontaneous tempo. We identified systematic relationships between rhythmic complexity and the spatiotemporal characteristics of body movement during both perception and reproduction.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
