Theories of reinforcement learning indicate that prediction error, i.e., the discrepancy between the current and expected outcome, drives learning, inducing a memory updating. Pavlovian studies have shown that prediction error detection is a fundamental mechanism for triggering memory updates, with the temporal relationship between stimuli playing a critical role. Recent studies in demon…
Emotion generated by music interferes in subjective time. Therefore, time can be distorted seeming shorter or longer than it really is in different contexts. The main models that try to explain time distortion include the processes of memory and attention. Cocenas-Silva, Bueno and Droit-Volet (2012) showed that the accuracy of temporal memory was bigger when the standard duration of the v…
The Contextual Expected Development Fraction model (C-EDF) proposes that if a distance between two keys is traversed during a certain time interval of a music composition, a temporal development expectation is evocated, that one which is intuitively necessary to "smoothly" traverse such distance. This expected time development is longer than the perceived duration. The disproportion is ap…

Theories of reinforcement learning indicate that prediction error, i.e., the discrepancy between the current and expected outcome, drives memory updating, through either reconsolidation or consolidation processes. Pavlovian studies have shown that prediction error detection is a fundamental mechanism for triggering memory updates, with the temporal relationship between stimuli playing a c…
The present project aims at investigating the temporal capacity of musical working memory both empirically and computationally. The experiments will investigate the effect of change of key on time reproductions while manipulating two variables: (1) when in the sequence the key-change occur (primacy/recency); and (2) when in the sequence the key with the longest duration occur (primacy/mid…
It has been suggested that the temporal component of the learning experience might be a fundamental component for learning an association. This important role of time in associative learning was incorporated in temporal difference learning models and is the foundation of the prediction error detection studies. Depending on the nature of the predicted outcome, prediction errors can concern…
