In this study, we explored how the modality (major and minor) would affect the input (i. e., fixation), visuo-motor coordination (i.e., eye-hand span and time of performance), and execution (i.e., errors) in the advanced pianist's sight-reading processes, as well as relations among these three phases. Thirty-two advanced pianists with 5-54 years of piano training participated in the study. All participants sight-read three two-voice pieces in either major ( = 16) or minor ( = 16) mode while their eye movements were measured by an eye-tracking device (30 fps). All pieces were 20-measure long written in 4/4 m, adapted from unfamiliar Baroque pieces. Results showed that sight-readers fixated more frequently and tended to spend more time performing in a minor score than in a major score. This implies that modality of a score affects an efficiency of input and visuo-motor coordination in the advanced pianist's sight-reading. Spearman's correlation coefficients showed that errors were correlated positively with the number of fixations and the duration of performance. These results add more evidence to the notion that efficiencies in input and visuo-motor coordination are related to the accuracy in execution.
在本研究中，我们探究了调式（大调与小调）如何影响高级钢琴家视奏过程中的输入（即注视）、视觉运动协调（即眼手跨度和演奏时间）以及执行（即错误），以及这三个阶段之间的关系。32名接受过5至54年钢琴训练的高级钢琴家参与了该研究。所有参与者视奏三首两声部乐曲，乐曲调式为大调（n = 16）或小调（n = 16），同时通过眼动追踪设备（30帧/秒）测量他们的眼动。所有乐曲均为20小节长，采用4/4拍，改编自不熟悉的巴洛克乐曲。结果表明，视奏者在视奏小调乐谱时比视奏大调乐谱时注视更频繁，且倾向于花费更多时间进行演奏。这意味着乐谱的调式会影响高级钢琴家视奏时的输入效率和视觉运动协调。斯皮尔曼相关系数表明，错误与注视次数和演奏时长呈正相关。这些结果为输入和视觉运动协调效率与执行准确性相关这一观点增添了更多证据。
