LC 268 - Integrative Seminar: VPM 240/PSY 271 The Making of Musical Minds: Research in the Psychology of MusicTwo Credits
Year Long Learning Community
In this LC, students will gain a basic knowledge of musical theory and structure and then use this language to explore recent research in the psychology of music through their own research and presentations. Students take Music Theory in the fall semester and apply this knowledge in the spring Seminar as they read, critique and present empirical studies on music perception/cognition, the development of musical preferences, the social psychology of music, and related topics. In Research Methods, also taken in the spring, they draw on this scientific literature to design, conduct and write-up an experiment on a topic in the psychology of music. Note: Introduction to Statistics (PSY 261 ) is a prerequisite for the Research Methods course. All students must complete PSY 261 before (not during) the spring semester of the Learning Community.
