I’ve Got the Music in Me
Using Cognitive Psychometrics to Identify, Measure, and Model Musical Abilities
Thursday, October 26, 2023 at 5:00pm CDT
Regenstein Master Class Room
Part of the Music Studies Distinguished Speaker Series, in collaboration with the Cognitive Sciences Program
Presented by Professor Daniel Müllensiefen, Goldsmiths, University of London
Musicality is a crucial concept for music learning, music teaching, and empirical music research. But how musicality is defined and how it should be assessed is contentious, assumed to be fully understood by some researchers and hotly debated by others. This talk will highlight three different approaches for identifying musical abilities and will introduce the Cognitive Psychometrics of Music as a new framework for musical test construction. Different approaches for modeling the relationships between different musical abilities may give rise to differing notions of musicality.
