Play it again, but more sadly: Influence of timbre, mode, and musical experience in melody processing. (2024)
Journal Article
Armitage, J., Eerola, T., & Halpern, A. R. (online). Play it again, but more sadly: Influence of timbre, mode, and musical experience in melody processing. Memory and Cognition, https://doi.org/10.3758/s13421-024-01614-8

The emotional properties of music are influenced by a host of factors, such as timbre, mode, harmony, and tempo. In this paper, we consider how two of these factors, mode (major vs. minor) and timbre interact to influence ratings of perceived valence...

Culture influences conscious appraisal of, but not automatic aversion to, acoustically rough musical intervals (2023)
Journal Article
Armitage, J., Lahdelma, I., Eerola, T., & Ambrazevičius, R. (2023). Culture influences conscious appraisal of, but not automatic aversion to, acoustically rough musical intervals. PLoS ONE, 18(12), Article e0294645. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0294645

There is debate whether the foundations of consonance and dissonance are rooted in culture or in psychoacoustics. In order to disentangle the contribution of culture and psychoacoustics, we considered automatic responses to the perfect fifth and the...

Cross-modal Transfer of Valence or Arousal from Music to Word Targets in Affective Priming? (2022)
Journal Article
Armitage, J., & Eerola, T. (2022). Cross-modal Transfer of Valence or Arousal from Music to Word Targets in Affective Priming?. Auditory Perception & Cognition, 5, 192-210. https://doi.org/10.1080/25742442.2022.2087451

This registered report considers how emotion induced in an auditory modality (music) can influence affective evaluations of visual stimuli (words). Specifically, it seeks to determine which emotional dimension is transferred across modalities – valen...

Online Data Collection in Auditory Perception and Cognition Research: Recruitment, Testing, Data Quality and Ethical Considerations (2021)
Journal Article
Eerola, T., Armitage, J., Lavan, N., & Knight, S. (2021). Online Data Collection in Auditory Perception and Cognition Research: Recruitment, Testing, Data Quality and Ethical Considerations. Auditory Perception & Cognition, 4(3-4), 251-280. https://doi.org/10.1080/25742442.2021.2007718

Online studies using recruitment services (such as Prolific or Amazon's MTurk) and online testing platforms (such as Gorilla or PsyToolkit) are becoming increasingly common in psychological science. Although auditory disciplines have been slower to a...

Automatic responses to musical intervals: Contrasts in acoustic roughness predict affective priming in Western listeners (2021)
Journal Article
Armitage, J., Lahdelma, I., & Eerola, T. (2021). Automatic responses to musical intervals: Contrasts in acoustic roughness predict affective priming in Western listeners. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 150(1), Article 551. https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0005623

The aim of the present study is to determine which acoustic components of harmonic consonance and dissonance influence automatic responses in a simple cognitive task. In a series of affective priming experiments, eight pairs of musical intervals were...

Reaction Time Data in Music Cognition: Comparison of Pilot Data From Lab, Crowdsourced, and Convenience Web Samples (2020)
Journal Article
Armitage, J., & Eerola, T. (2020). Reaction Time Data in Music Cognition: Comparison of Pilot Data From Lab, Crowdsourced, and Convenience Web Samples. Frontiers in Psychology, 10, Article 2883. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.02883

Reaction time (RT) methods have been a mainstay of research in cognitive psychology for over a century. RT methods have been applied in domains as diverse as visual perception (e.g., Ando et al., 2002), personality traits (e.g., Robinson and Tamir, 2...
