The effects of musical tempo on cognitive processing speed were investigated, and the mediating effect of arousal was empirically tested. In an experiment, participants were divided into fast tempo, slow tempo, and no-music groups and completed three cognitive processing speed tests measuring motor speed, visuospatial processing speed, and linguistic processing speed. The results indicated a significant effect of musical tempo on processing speed and task performance in all three tasks. The slow-tempo group exhibited slower processing speed and worse performance than the no-music group in all three tasks. The fast tempo group displayed no significant difference in processing speed or performance compared with the no-music group. In the linguistic processing task, those who listened to slow-tempo music had better accuracy than those in the other conditions. Arousal did not mediate the relationship between musical tempo and cognitive processing speed.
研究了音乐节奏对认知加工速度的影响,并对唤醒的中介作用进行了实证检验。在一项实验中,参与者被分为快节奏组、慢节奏组和无音乐组,并完成了三项认知加工速度测试,分别测量运动速度、视觉空间加工速度和语言加工速度。结果表明,音乐节奏对所有三项任务的加工速度和任务表现都有显著影响。在所有三项任务中,慢节奏组的加工速度比无音乐组慢,表现也更差。与无音乐组相比,快节奏组在加工速度或表现上没有显著差异。在语言加工任务中,听慢节奏音乐的人比其他条件下的人有更高的准确率。唤醒并没有调节音乐节奏与认知加工速度之间的关系。
