Testing the influence of the group for the memorisation of repertoire in Trinidad and Tobago steelbands
Résumé
Does the collective aspect of a performance influence the memory of music in steelbands? Is the fact to see the simultaneous synchronised movements of other players performing the same part helping the musician to recall correctly a melody? Forty four panists1 were tested in a free recall task, in solitary and collective contexts. Three group of three melodies of growing difficulty were composed and taught to the participants through a video. The aim of the experiment was to test the hypothesis of a positive influence of the group on individual melodic recalls, with a comparison of the mistakes rate.
