Effects of Prototype and Exemplar Learning and Four Musical Dimensions on the Formation of Musical Style Concepts.
Thorisson, Thorir
Bulletin of the Council for Research in Music Education, n133 p136-42 Sum 1997
Compares the effects of explicit training in classical and romantic styles, the relevance of four musical dimensions, and the congruence of categorizations with predictions of exemplar- or prototype-theories of concept formation. Explains that subjects in both the exemplar and prototype groups relied on independently abstracted cues rather than holistic exemplar similarity. (CMK)
