Reading: Institutional culture and learning I: perceptions of the learning environment and musicians’ attitudes to learning

Music Education Research, 12:2, 151-178
Authors: Papageorgi, I., Haddon, E., Creech, A., Morton, F., de Bezenac, C., Himonides, E., Potter, J., Duffy, C., Whyton, T., Welch, G. (2010)

Main point:

Online survey (n=170, students from three British higher music education institutions)+case study with focus groups.

Authors conclude that “positive learning environments are perceived as being inspirational, facilitating academic, professional and personal development, fostering a supportive community of learning and allowing the development and pursuit of personal interests.

Bruno H. Repp

Repp has conducted many experiments concerning SMS. So a portion of the review is recalling his own work. SMS is unique to the humans, develops slowly in early childhood and remains almost the same for long years. Although SMS is needed in various human actions, most notably dancing and instrument playing, most of the research uses finger tapping. SMS consists of two error correction phases: phase correction and period correction.

Reading: Cognitive Style and the Theory and Practice of Individual and Collective Learning in Organizations

Human Relations, Vol. 51, No. 7, 1998
Authors: John Hayes and Christopher W. Allinson

Some useful citations for future:

“Cognitive style is a person ’s preferred way of gathering, processing, and
evaluating information. It influences how people scan their environment for
information, how they organize and interpret this information, and how they
integrate their interpretations into the mental model and subjective theories
that guide their actions.”

“Learning style is usually regarded as a subcategory of cognitive style”

Psicothema 2007. Vol. 19, no 4, pp. 572-577
Authors: M. Adelina Guisande, M. Fernanda Páramo, Carolina Tinajero and Leandro S. Almeida

Main point:

Experiment (n=149, boys and girls almost evenly, mean age 9.53 y). With the effect of intelligence controlled, FI  children showed better performance than FD children on the verbal working memory, complex attention and sustained attention/vigilance tasks.

Reading: Correlations among scores on measures of field dependence-independence cognitive style, cognitive ability, and sustained attention

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1999, 88, 236-239
Authors:  Juan Antonio Amador-Campos, Teresa Kirchner-Nebot

Main point:

Experiment (n=179 boys, 110 girls, mean age 9.0 y). Authors found significant correlation (0.3, p<0.1) between FD/I and sustained attention (measured by Zazzo task) but no correlation was found in the case of Bourdon task. The latter is also a tool for measuring sustained attention.

My comment: There were other tests that correlated with FD/I but I was mainly interested in attention. Author argue that FD/I is commonly associated with attentional process.

Reading: Field dependence–independence and instructional-design effects on learners’ performance with a computer-modeling tool

Computers in Human Behavior, Volume 25, Issue 6, November 2009, Pages 1355–1366
Authors: Charoula Angeli, Nicos Valanides, Paul Kirschner

Main point:

Experiment (n=101 teachers). Two groups: information presented in split-format and in integrated-format. Authors found interaction between type of instructional materials and FD/I in terms of students’ problem-solving performance, while the interaction effects between type of instructional materials and students’ FD/I in terms of students’ cognitive load and time spent on task were not. It means that the cognitive load and split-attention effect are equal to everybody, regardless to the FD/I

My thoughts: It seems to be OK to measure cognitive load with self reports since there is no better tool so far. Field independent learners always do better. How about the attention? It may be that although FI and FD use the same time for completing a task, the quality of the time is not the same. FD’s attention may be disturbed.

Reading: Attending to the Execution of a Complex Sensorimotor Skill: Expertise Differences, Choking, and Slumps

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied. 2004, Vol. 10, No. 1, 42–54
Author: Rob Gray

Main point:

Experiments with baseball batters (10 expert players, 10 novice players). Exp 1. Three conditions: dual-task when attention was drawn to an extraneous stimuli (sound signal) while player was hitting the ball, dual-task condition when attention was drawn to the hitting process, and single-task condition, when the sound signal could be ignored. Results: in the first condition, novices showed decrease in performance, but not the experts. In the second condition, it was vice-versa. In the single-task condition the experts outperformed the novices, of course.

The author says: “Clearly, unlike more experienced players, novices do not seem to have sufficient available attentional resources to simultaneously hit and attend to extraneous sensory information.”

Reading: Preliminary evidence for reduced cortial activity in experienced guitarists during performance preparation for simple scale playing

Music Performance Research, Vol 5, 2012
Authors: Wright, Holmes, Blain, Smith

Main point:

In an experiment electroencephalography (EEG) was used to study cortical activity during preparation for movement in experienced and novice guitarists. In the brains of experienced players less cortial activity occurs. Authors say: “motor preparation of experts is more efficient than that of novices.”

My thoughts: Isn’t it the same experiment that they report here?
