“…Our suggestion that controlled syntactic processing and musical syntactic violation processing shares neural resources for the maintenance and the dual control functions is in line with the finding that processing out-of-key chords elicits a P600 which does not statistically differ from that elicited by processing garden-path or ungrammatical sentences (De Leeuw et al, 2019;Patel et al, 1998). The P600 is an ERP component which is associated with late controlled syntactic processing in language and was suggested to have its origin -at least partially -in the basal ganglia as P600 is reduced or absent in focal basal ganglia patients as well as PD patients .…”

Hierarchical control as a shared neurocognitive mechanism for language and music

Although comparative research has made substantial progress in clarifying the relationship between language and music as neurocognitive systems from both a theoretical and empirical perspective, there is still no consensus about which mechanisms, if any, are shared and how they bring about different neurocognitive systems. In this paper, we tackle these two questions by focusing on hierarchical control as a neurocognitive mechanism underlying syntax in language and music. We put forward the Coordinated Hierarchical Control (CHC) hypothesis: linguistic and musical syntax rely on hierarchical control, but engage this shared mechanism differently depending on the current control demand. While linguistic syntax preferably engages the abstract rule-based control circuit, musical syntax rather employs the coordination of the abstract rule-based and the more concrete motor-based control circuits. We provide evidence for our hypothesis by reviewing neuroimaging as well as neuropsychological studies on linguistic and musical syntax. The CHC hypothesis makes a set of novel testable predictions to guide future work on the relationship between language and music.

“…Motivated by the similarity with the P600 observed earlier in language studies (e.g., Hagoort et al, 1993;Osterhout & Holcomb, 1992), Patel et al (1998) designed a within-subjects comparison of language and music structural violations. The elicited P600 was statistically indistinguishable between the two domains (replicated in De Leeuw et al, 2019), and its amplitude increased with increasing violation strength, whether linguistic or tonal/harmonic (see also Besson & Faita, 1995;Janata, 1995).…”

Syntax and prediction are fundamental elements supporting the processing of language and music. Implicitly learned syntactic rules and principles allow perceivers to form expectations (or predictions) about the syntactic combination of individual elements, resulting in facilitated processing of upcoming expected events. The current chapter discusses syntax (in the broad sense of structured, system-based combinations of events) and prediction in language and music, including an outline of the formal similarities and differences in syntax between the two domains. We present behavioural and neural evidence showing the role of syntax in prediction, for both typical and pathological populations as well as connections with rhythm processing. Methodological considerations for future research investigating syntax and prediction in language and music are also discussed, as well as perspectives for rehabilitation and training, notably based on predictive processing informed by syntactic and rhythmic principles in both domains.

“…Conducting replication studies in the classroom, including studies of publishable quality, is an existing concept in the fields of psychology [11,18,35,36,55,82], cognitive science [19], economics [38], and biostatistics [76]. For example, De Leeuw et al, 2019 [19] co-taught a cognitive science course on research methods to undergraduates and integrated replication studies into the course.…”

Data visualization is a young and growing field with many unresolved, debated, and untested theories that need to be tested, validated, and strengthened. Replication studies are a common way to achieve this validation by investigating the credibility, rigor, and generalizability of previously published research. The execution of replication studies is crucial to strengthen the field of data visualization and to ensure that the field’s foundations are solid with accurate methods and theories. Although visualization researchers acknowledge the epistemological significance of replications and its necessity to establish trust and reliability, the field has made little progress to support the publication of such studies and importantly provide methods to the community to encourage replications. In this paper, we contribute Vis Repligogy, a novel framework to incorporate replication studies within visualization course curricula that not only teaches students replication and evaluation methodologies but also results in executed replication studies to validate prior work. To validate the feasibility of the framework, we present the results of four replication studies that were conducted in a graduate data visualization course that implemented the Vis Repligogy framework. We also provide a meta-analysis of the four replication studies that replicated and validated, a seminal work in data visualization investigating the effects of visual embellishments on chart interpretability and memorability. Finally, we reflect on our experience of conducting the replication studies through the Vis Repligogy framework and reflect on the experience to provide useful recommendations for future use of the framework. We envision that this framework will encourage instructors to conduct replications in their own courses and will help facilitate more replication studies in the visualization community to support a culture shift where replications are commonplace.
