Reply to "Embodied Rhythm" by Bruno Repp and "Do Preferred Beat Rate and Entrainment to the Beat Have a Common Origin in Movement?" by Laurel Trainor
Two leading issues raised in commentaries on the authors’ earlier article (2007) involved the possible roles of gender differences and the vestibular system on test results. Those issues are discussed in this reply
The Contribution of Anthropometric Factors to Individual Differences in the Perception of Rhythm
In a sample of 44 human subjects, aged between 18 and 38 years, two
distinct measurement procedures were carried out: (1) a psychophysical procedure to
determine ‘preferred beat rate’ and (2) standard anthropometry to determine mass
and 6 skeletal dimensions. Additionally the factors of sex, age and musicianship
were also assessed. ANOVAs were carried out with preferred beat rate as the
dependent variable and each of the anthropometric variables as between-subjects
factors, partitioned into two levels, defined by the 50th percentile. Significant effects
were obtained for age, anthropometric factors and the interaction between age and
sex, totalling about 40% of the explainable variance. No significant main effects of
sex or musicianship were obtained
