BODILY MOTION AS A PERCEPTUAL MODULATOR: HOW PASSIVE LINEAR MOVEMENT SHAPES MELODIC INTERVAL JUDGMENTS
Abstract
Embodied music cognition research has long focused on voluntary bodily movement’s role in music perception, yet passive motion’s impact remains underexplored. This study examined how linear passive motion across three translational degrees of freedom (Z/X/Y axes) modulates melodic interval perception via a 6-DOF motion platform, with 39 normal-hearing participants completing perception tasks under static and motion conditions. Independent-samples t-tests and cent-based quantitative analysis revealed significant perceptual differences between the two conditions (p
