Becoming Materially Aware with Mushrooms: A Sociomaterial Analysis of Biomaking The?International Journal of Art & Design Education (IF 1.1) Pub Date : 2025-01-18 P?ivikki Liukkonen, Henriikka Vartiainen, Sirpa Kokko
Biomaking and other bio‐oriented creative approaches are beginning to gain traction in education. Operating at the intersections of arts and sciences, they represent a field of integrative practices that involve creative making with the biological. In educational contexts, however, bio‐oriented creative practices have been studied primarily from hylomorphic perspectives that do not account for the

Audiovisual Associations in Saint-Sa?ns’ Carnival of the Animals: A Cross-Cultural Investigation on the Role of Timbre Empirical Studies of the Arts (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2025-01-17 Nicola Di Stefano, Alessandro Ansani, Andrea Schiavio, Suvi Saarikallio, Charles Spence
Several studies have investigated crossmodal associations involving audiovisual stimuli. To date, however, far fewer studies have explored the relationship between musical timbre and visual features (e.g., soft/harsh timbres with blue/red colours). To fill this gap in the literature, 249 participants were invited to judge the match between different coloured images and musical excerpts. The images

The Cultural-Match Effect on Art Appreciation in Adolescents Empirical Studies of the Arts (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2025-01-16 Magdalena Szubielska, Robbie Ho, Natalia Kopi?-Posiej
The cultural-match effect on art appreciation refers to a higher aesthetic evaluation of artworks that match the viewers’ cultural background. The present study examines this effect in Western adolescents. We hypothesized longer viewing time (H1) and higher art appreciation (H2) for culturally matching (Western) than mismatching (Eastern) paintings. Representing three age groups (12–13, 14–15, and

AI Performer Bias: Listeners Like Music Less When They Think it was Performed by an AI Empirical Studies of the Arts (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2025-01-15 Alessandro Ansani, Friederike Koehler, Lisa Giombini, Matias H?m?l?inen, Chen Meng, Marco Marini, Suvi Saarikallio
Contextual information can shape the aesthetic judgements of music compositions. Recently, a study proposed the existence of an AI composer bias; namely, listeners tend to like music less when they think (or are told) that it was composed by an AI. In this online study ( N = 120), we used a cross-over experimental design to verify whether such bias extends to audiovisual music performance. The participants

The Cumulative Model for Empirical Research in the Arts: A Semiotic Answer to the Challenge of Interdisciplinarity Empirical Studies of the Arts (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2025-01-08 Héctor G. Gallegos González, Barend van Heusden
The empirical study of the arts would greatly benefit from truly interdisciplinary research. The diverse epistemic perspectives of the main disciplines concerned with researching the artistic experience (humanities, psychology, natural sciences) pose, however, a challenge to their collaboration. Rather than starting from a conceptual definition of art, we take a theoretical, cognitive-semiotic stance

The Drawing Effect: Does Drawing Really Enhance Recall Memory? Empirical Studies of the Arts (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2024-12-12 Susanna Mykoniatis, Kaile Smith, Jennifer E. Drake
There is some evidence that the best strategy for remembering text-based information is drawing when using a mixed list design where participants both draw and write in the same list. There is also some evidence that the memory benefits of drawing are reduced when using a pure list design where participants draw or write in separate lists. In this study ( n = 91), we compared three encoding strategies

Cotter, Joerg Fingerhut, Helmut Leder, Matthew Pelowski
Art-viewing is a defining component of society and culture, in part because the experience involves a wide-range and nuanced configuration of emotional and cognitive responses. Precisely because of this complexity, however, questions of the actual nature, scope, and variety of art experience remain largely unanswered: what kinds of patterns do we exhibit, how do various components go together, and

Teaching is increasingly defined through the syntax of cognitive science, by retrieval practice, spaced learning, and interleaving, generating a computational rhythm for learning as a system of inputs and outputs that builds up an individual's memory over time. This, I argue, is at odds with the choreography of art and design education as an aesthetic, social, and material practice. An alternative

Subjective fluency affects preference evaluation in daily objects through two routes: increasing preference (‘hedonic effect’) and amplifying valence effects on preference (‘amplifying effect’). Contrarily, empirical aesthetics suggest that contextual knowledge, the primary source of fluency, prevents valence-dependent appreciation, challenging the amplifying effect model. Here, we examined the dual
