Eye Movement Study On Three-Dimensional SMARC Effect Of Pitch,Rhythm And Loudness

Studies have shown that there is a relationship between numbers and spatial orientation.Smaller numbers will give individuals a left-side orientation response advantage,while larger numbers will give individuals a right-side orientation response advantage.Similarly,subsequent researchers found that the three basic elements of pitch,loudness,and rhythm contained in music are also related to spatial orientation.After a long period of empirical research,researchers call the connection between music and spatial orientation the SMARC effect.At first,the researchers only explored the SMARC effect of pitch and spatial horizontal orientation,and found that individuals were more likely to respond favorably to high pitches in the right spatial orientation than low pitches,while for low pitches,individuals were more likely to The left side orientation produces a reaction advantage.Therefore,the follow-up researchers further explored the relationship between pitch and vertical space,loudness and horizontal and vertical space orientation,and rhythm speed and horizontal space orientation based on the study of SMARC effect of pitch and horizontal orientation.The basic elements are all related to the spatial orientation.However,there is still room for further research in the current research on the SMARC effect of music and spatial orientation.For example,in the research on the basic elements of music,existing research focuses more on pitch and loudness,and on rhythm and space.There are few studies on the relationship of orientation.Secondly,in the dimension of spatial orientation,existing studies have more explored the relationship between horizontal orientation and vertical orientation and music,while there are fewer studies on the relationship between far and near spatial orientation and music.Finally,the existing studies seldom distinguish the types of subjects,and there are still doubts about whether musical experience is an important factor affecting the emergence of the SMARC effect.Therefore,in response to the above problems,this study will comprehensively explore the influence of musical experience on the horizontal,vertical,and distance relationships of pitch,loudness,rhythm,and spatial orientation,and use eye trackers to collect the subjects’ fixation time and fixation point,in order to better In order to intuitively understand the influence of music on the identification of individual spatial orientation.In Experiment 1a,the study adopted a mixed experimental design of 2（spatial orientation: left,right）× 2（subject type:musical experience,no musical experience）under high/low pitch auditory stimuli,and the fixation time was used as the dependent variable to explore the SMARC effect between pitch and horizontal spatial orientation.In Experiment 1b,the study adopted a mixed experimental design of 2（spatial orientation: up,down）× 2（subject type:musical experience,no musical experience）under the high/low pitch auditory stimuli to explore the relationship between pitch and verticality.SMARC effect between spatial orientations.In Experiment 1c,under the auditory stimulation of high/low pitch,a mixed experimental design of 2（spatial orientation: far,near）× 2（subject type: musical experience,no musical experience）was used to explore the relationship between pitch and distance.SMARC effect between spatial orientations.In Experiment 2a,the study adopted a mixed experimental design of 2（spatial orientation: left,right）× 2（subject type: musical experience,no musical experience）under the auditory stimuli of crescendo / crescendo loudness to explore the loudness.SMARC effect with horizontal spatial orientation.In experiment 2b,the study adopted a mixed experimental design of 2（spatial orientation: up,down）× 2（subject type: musical experience,no musical experience）under the auditory stimuli of crescendo / crescendo loudness to explore the loudness.SMARC effect with vertical spatial orientation.In Experiment 2c,the study adopted a mixed experimental design of 2（spatial orientation: far,near）× 2（subject type: musical experience,no musical experience）under the auditory stimuli of crescendo / crescendo loudness to explore the loudness.SMARC effect between far and near spatial orientation.In Experiment3 a,the study adopted a mixed experimental design of 2（spatial orientation: left,right）× 2（subject type: musical experience,no musical experience）under the auditory stimulation of the rhythm of increasing/decreasing rhythm to explore the rhythm.SMARC effect with horizontal spatial orientation.In Experiment 3b,the study adopted a 2（spatial orientation: up,down）× 2（subject type: musical experience,no musical experience）mixed experimental design under the auditory stimulus of the rhythm of increasing/decreasing rhythm to explore the rhythm.SMARC effect with vertical spatial orientation.In Experiment 3c,the study adopted a mixed experimental design of 2（spatial orientation: far,near）× 2（subject type: musical experience,no musical experience）under the auditory stimuli of increasing/decreasing rhythm to explore the rhythm.SMARC effect between far and near spatial orientation.
