The Parameters of Eye Movement in Vocal Music Reading (sight-Reading; Saccades)
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe purpose of the study was to investigate selected aspects of perceptual processing of graduate music students reading melodies of varying levels of notational complexity. Six parameters of eye movement were measured using an SRI Eytracker: number of progressive and regressive fixations, progressive and regressive fixation durations, and progressive and regressive saccade lengths. The 24 subjects who participated in the study were skilled and less skilled music readers. Eye movement was recorded every millisecond and fixation location was measured to an accuracy of approximately one-tenth the width of the head of a quarter-note.
