Visual information is imperative when developing a concrete and context-sensitive understanding of how music performance is perceived. Recent studies highlight natural, automatic, and nonconscious dependence on visual cues that ultimately refer to body expressions observed in the musician. The current study investigated how the social context of a performing musician (eg playing alone or within an ensemble) and the musical expertise of the perceivers influence the strategies used to understand and decode the visual features of music performance. Results revealed that both perceiver groups, nonmusicians and musicians, have a higher sensitivity towards gaze information; therefore, an impoverished stimulus such as a point-light display is insufficient to understand the social context in which the musician is performing. Implications for these findings are discussed.
在对音乐表演的感知形成具体且与情境相关的理解时，视觉信息至关重要。最近的研究强调了对视觉线索的自然、自动和无意识依赖，这些线索最终指向在音乐家身上观察到的身体表达。本研究调查了表演音乐家的社会情境（例如独自演奏或在合奏中演奏）以及感知者的音乐专业知识如何影响用于理解和解读音乐表演视觉特征的策略。结果显示，非音乐家和音乐家这两组感知者对注视信息都有更高的敏感度；因此，像点光显示这样的贫乏刺激不足以理解音乐家表演的社会情境。文中讨论了这些发现的意义。
