Predictive Processes Shape the Effects of Age and Parkinson’s on the Relation between Syncopation and the Urge to Move to Music
Description
The pleasurable urge to move to music (PLUMM) shows an inverted U-shaped relation with syncopation. A predictive processing account hypothesizes that moderately syncopated rhythms maximize precision weighted prediction errors (PE) and thus elicit the strongest urge to minimize PEs via movement. We tested this hypothesis by combining computational modelling with a large sample of PLUMM ratings. We also investigated whether metrical model …
