Maps and Paths in Music Learning--Building up Mental Representations: A Connectionist Approach.
Gruhn, Wilfried
Bulletin of the Council for Research in Music Education, n127 p88-98 Win 1995-1996
Discusses a connectionist, or neural network, model of learning and representation. Argues that the less musical representations are developed, the more listeners refer to nonmusical associations to understand music. Suggests that music education should begin by providing students with tools to deal with music based on experiences already familiar to them. (DSK)
