Effects of Some Aspects of Rhythm on Tempo Perception.
Wang, Cecilia Chu
Journal of Research in Music Education, v32 n3 p169-76 Fall 1984
Results indicated that significantly more time is needed to perceive tempo increase than tempo decrease, uneven rhythm then even rhythm, and melody alone than melody with accompaniment. Furthermore, significant interaction effects involving beat locations of tempo change suggest that differential groupings may be a factor in tempo discrimination. (Author/RM)
