We explore the possibility of studying music perception with responsetime measures. Subjects heard either a chord (tonic triad) or scale prime, followed by a single note, and indicated whether the note did or did not belong in the primed key. Overall, the data resemble the tonal hierarchy previously demonstrated with other methods, thus establishing the validity of the response-time measure. In addition, the scale primes superimpose a recency effect on the standard hierarchy, as would be expected from a serially presented stimulus. We discuss what this implies about tonal hierarchies, and the use of response-time measures to study the online processes of music listening. We also report data for nondiatonic tones.

Statistical learning refers to the process of extracting regularities from the world without feedback. What are the necessary conditions for statistical learning to arise? It has been argued that visual statistical learning (VSL) is “automatic”, such that subjects will passively and even unconsciously extract statistical regularities from streams of visual input as long as they attend to the stimuli. In contrast, our data indicate that simply attending to stimuli is not, on its own, sufficient for learning. In Experiments 1 & 2, we provided incidental exposure to regularities in a stream of images and observed little to zero VSL across a range of conditions. In Experiment 3, we found that explicitly instructing participants to seek regularities dramatically improved their performance on direct measures of learning, but not on an indirect response time measure. Finally, in Experiments 4 & 5, we demonstrated that a methodological confound in prior work using the indirect response time measure could account for some previous evidence of automatic and implicit VSL.Overall, we found very little evidence of learning using direct measures of VSL, and no evidence of learning using an indirect response time measure. Participants who recognized visual sequence regularities in a forced-choice task could also often recreate the sequences when explicitly probed, indicating their knowledge was not entirely implicit. We suggest that some form of active engagement with stimuli may be needed to extract sequential regularities, and that VSL does not occur automatically.

Abstract. The Sternberg short-term memory scanning task has been used to unveil cognitive operations involved in time perception. Participants produce time intervals during the task, and the researcher explores how task performance affects interval production – where time estimation error is the dependent variable of interest. The perspective of predictive behavior regards time estimation error as a temporal prediction error (PE), an independent variable that controls cognition, behavior, and learning. Based on this perspective, we investigated whether temporal PEs affect short-term memory scanning. Participants performed temporal predictions while they maintained information in memory. Model inference revealed that PEs affected memory scanning response time independently of the memory-set size effect. We discuss the results within the context of formal and mechanistic models of short-term memory scanning and predictive coding, a Bayes-based theory of brain function. We state the hypothesis that our finding could be associated with weak frontostriatal connections and weak striatal activity.
