Phrase Units as Determinants of Visual Processing in Music Reading

Sloboda, John A.

British Journal of Psychology, 68 pt1, 117-24, Feb 77

Keyboard musicians sight-read passages of music in which the amount of information about the presence of phrase units was systematically varied. Results suggest a clear analogy between the cognition of music and language, in that knowledge of abstract structure is of importance in the organization of immediate visual processing of text.
