Recent evidence suggested the existence of a spatial associations for music tempo with faster left-hand responses to relatively slow tempos and faster right-hand responses to relatively fast tempos. We refer to a study that systematically explored these spatial associations across different tempo ranges, revealed a clear effect only in the fast tempo range (DOI 10.3758/s13414-019-01945-8). The present study further investigated whether a spatial association exists across different tempo ranges (, "full", "slow" or "fast" tempo range). In particular, the present study was conducted aiming (1) to test the spatial associations for tempo in the full tempo range (Experiment 1) and (2) to further investigate the occurrence of this spatial associations in the slow and fast tempo ranges (Experiment 2). Experiment 1 revealed a spatial association for tempo occurs in the full tempo range (40-200 bpm). Experiment 2 confirmed this association in the fast tempo range (133-201 bpm) but showed contradictory results in the slow tempo range (40-104 bpm). This suggests that a spatial association is plausible in the slow tempo range, although further research is needed to clarify this phenomenon.
最近的证据表明,音乐节奏与左手对相对较慢节奏的较快反应和右手对相对较快节奏的较快反应之间存在空间关联。我们参考了一项系统地探索不同节奏范围的这些空间关联的研究,该研究仅在快节奏范围内揭示了明显的效应(DOI 10.3758/s13414-019-01945-8)。本研究进一步调查了在不同节奏范围内是否存在空间关联(“全”、“慢”或“快”节奏范围)。特别是,本研究旨在(1)在全节奏范围内测试节奏的空间关联(实验 1),以及(2)进一步调查这种空间关联在慢节奏和快节奏范围内的发生情况(实验 2)。实验 1 表明,全节奏范围内(40-200 bpm)存在节奏的空间关联。实验 2在快节奏范围内(133-201 bpm)证实了这种关联,但在慢节奏范围内(40-104 bpm)得出了相反的结果。这表明,尽管需要进一步的研究来澄清这一现象,但在慢节奏范围内存在空间关联是合理的。
