  • A Psychological Approach to Musical Form: the Habituation–Fluency Theory of Repetition
    A Psychological Approach to Musical Form: The Habituation–Fluency Theory of Repetition David Huron With the possible exception of dance and meditation, there appears to be nothing else in common human experience that is comparable to music in its repetitiveness (Kivy 1993; Ockelford 2005; Margulis 2013). Narrative arti- facts like movies, novels, cartoon strips, stories, and speeches have much less internal repetition. Even poetry is less repetitive than music. Occasionally, architecture can approach music in repeating some elements, but only some- times. There appears to be no visual analog to the sort of trance–inducing music that can engage listeners for hours. Although dance and meditation may be more repetitive than music, dance is rarely performed in the absence of music, and meditation tellingly relies on imagining a repeated sound or mantra (Huron 2006: 267). Repetition can be observed in music from all over the world (Nettl 2005). In much music, a simple “strophic” pattern is evident in which a single phrase or passage is repeated over and over. When sung, it is common for successive repetitions to employ different words, as in the case of strophic verses. However, it is also common to hear the same words used with each repetition. In the Western art–music tradition, internal patterns of repetition are commonly discussed under the rubric of form. Writing in The Oxford Companion to Music, Percy Scholes characterized musical form as “a series of strategies designed to find a successful mean between the opposite extremes of unrelieved repetition and unrelieved alteration” (1977: 289). Scholes’s characterization notwithstanding, musical form entails much more than simply the pattern of repetition.

    JOURNAL OF NEUROBIOLOGY,VOL. 1, NO. 3, PP. 345-360 PARAMETRIC STUDIES OF THE RESPONSE DECREMENT PRODUCED BY MECHANICAL STIMULI IN THE PROTOZOAN, Stentor coeruleus DAVID C. WOOD* Brain Research Laboratory, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 43104 SUMMARY A decrement in the probability of eliciting a response is observed dur- ing the course of repetitive stimulation in many response systems of both metazoa and protozoa. Those forms of metazoan response decre- ment called habituation have recently been characterized behaviorally. In the studies reported here, the response decrement of the contractile protozoan, Stentor coeruleus, to repeated mechanical stimulation was systemically characterized to provide a comparison with metazoan habit- uation. This change in response probability was closely approximated by a negative exponential function after the first few stimuli. Animals responded to parametric variations of stimulus amplitude, interstimulus interval and retention period in a manner paralleling that observed in metazoa. However, neither interpolated large amplitude mechanical stimuli nor suprathreshold electrical stimuli produced dishabituation in Stentor though these stimuli are among the most effective dishabituating stimuli for metazoan tactile response systems. Behavioral analysis of the response decrement proceeded on the assumption that Stentor con- tains receptor and effector mechanisms only. Since the response decre- ment was not correlated with a change in responsiveness to electrical stimuli, the ability of the animal to contract appears to be unaltered by the process producing the response decrement. On the other hand, weak mechanical prestimuli were found to increase the rate of the response decrement which suggests that a process of receptor adaption is opera- tive.

Address requests for reprints to: Prof. Gershon Ben-Shakhar Department of Psychology, The Hebrew University, Jerusalem, 91905, ISRAEL Running Title: OR Reinstatement and Dishabituation 2 ABSTRACT This study examined the prediction that stimulus novelty is negatively related to the measure of common features, shared by the stimulus input and representations of preceding events, and positively related to the measure of their distinctive features. This prediction was tested in two experiments, which used sequences of nonsignificant verbal and pictorial compound stimuli. A test stimulus (TS) was presented after 9 repetitions of a standard stimulus (SS), followed by 2 additional repetitions of SS. TS was created by either substituting 0, 1, or 2 stimulus components of SS (Experiment 1), or by either adding or deleting 0, 1, or 2 components of SS (Experiment 2). The dependent measure was the electrodermal component of the OR to both TS (OR reinstatement) and SS that immediately followed TS (dishabituation).

  • Disrupted Habituation in the Early Stage of Psychosis
    Biological Psychiatry: CNNI Archival Report Disrupted Habituation in the Early Stage of Psychosis Suzanne N. Avery, Maureen McHugo, Kristan Armstrong, Jennifer U. Blackford, Neil D. Woodward, and Stephan Heckers ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Learning and memory are impaired in schizophrenia. Some theories have proposed that one form of memory, habituation, is particularly impaired. Preliminary evidence suggests that memory impairment is associated with failed hippocampal habituation in patients with chronic schizophrenia. We studied how abnormal habituation of the hippocampus is related to relational memory deficits in the early stage of psychosis. METHODS: We measured hippocampal activity in 62 patients with early psychosis and 70 healthy individuals using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Habituation was defined as the slope of functional magnetic resonance imaging signal change to repeated presentations of faces and objects. Relational memory ability was measured as the slope of preferential viewing during a face-scene pair eye movement task outside the scanner. RESULTS: Patients with early psychosis showed impaired relational memory (p , .001) and less hippocampal habituation to objects (p = .01) than healthy control subjects. In the healthy control group, better relational memory was associated with faster anterior hippocampal habituation (faces, r = 2.28, p = .03). In contrast, patients with early psychosis showed no brain-behavior relationship (r = .12, p = .40). CONCLUSIONS: We found evidence for disrupted hippocampal habituation in the early stage of psychosis along with an altered association between hippocampal habituation and relational memory ability. These results suggest that neural habituation may provide a novel target for early cognitive interventions in psychosis. Keywords: First episode, Hippocampus, Novelty, Relational memory, Schizophrenia, Visual cortex https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bpsc.2019.06.007 Repetition is one of the most familiar memory tools.
