Figural and Metric Understanding of Rhythm

Psychology of Music, 1994
Bamberger's studies of visual descriptions of rhythmic patterns led to a distinction between two kinds of rhythmic understanding: metric and figural (Bamberger, 1982). Metric understanding describes events in terms of a measured underlying beat, while figural understanding describes events in terms of the events surrounding them.

The social rhythm metric (SRM): Measuring daily social rhythms over 12 weeks

Psychiatry Research, 1991
A "Social Rhythm Metric" (SRM) of daily rhythmic behavior (developed previously) was given to 20 treated depressives (in remission) and 15 day-working control subjects for a continuous 12-week period. Long-term use of the SRM appeared feasible with no evidence of a deterioration in scores over the 12 weeks.

The Social Rhythm Metric An Instrument to Quantify the Daily Rhythms of Life

The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, 1990
The Social Rhythm Metric (SRM) is an instrument designed to quantify an individual's daily social rhythms. Social rhythms are important both as a way of structuring the day cognitively and as time cues (or zeitgebers) that drive the biological clock (circadian system).

Metrical perception of trisyllabic speech rhythms

Psychological Research, 2013
The perception of duration-based syllabic rhythm was examined within a metrical framework. Participants assessed the duration patterns of four-syllable phrases set within the stress structure XxxX (an Abercrombian trisyllabic foot). Using on-screen sliders, participants created percussive sequences that imitated speech rhythms and analogous non-speech ...

Comparing envelope- and interval-based rhythm metrics

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2011
Numerous metrics have been developed in the attempt to characterize cross-linguistic differences in speech rhythm, particularly with regard to the rhythm class hypothesis, which holds that languages differ in whether they privilege regularity in timing of stress, syllables, or moras.

Comparing Arabic rhythm metrics among other languages

2012 International Conference on Audio, Language and Image Processing, 2012
This paper addresses a calculation and analysis of metrics for the quantification of speech rhythm by using WESTPOINT. Some variables are measured and calculated in detail. Firstly we propose a new Unified Pair-wise Variability Indices system (UPVI) that contains the V arcoC, rPV I and CCI systems.

The implicit learning of metrical and non-metrical rhythms in blind and sighted adults

Psychological Research, 2017
Forming temporal expectancies plays a crucial role in our survival as it allows us to identify the occurrence of temporal deviants that might signal potential dangers. The dynamic attending theory suggests that temporal expectancies are formed more readily for rhythms that imply a beat (i.e., metrical rhythms) compared to those that do not (i.e ...

Assessing the temporal reliability of rhythm metrics

Journal of the International Phonetic Association, 2011
Despite the current popularity of rhythm metrics, there has been relatively little work aimed at establishing their validity or reliability, important characteristics of any empirical measure. The current paper focuses on the stability, or temporal reliability, of rhythm metrics by establishing if they give consistent results for the same speakers, in ...

Speech Rhythms and Metric Frames

2009
I present some conceptual and computational tactics related to the metric analysis of speech rhythms. An utterance can be considered metered when it approaches isochrony at the level of the syllable (note) and/or foot (beat). Since the timing patterns of spoken speech resemble those of music, we can apply knowledge of musical meter and expressive ...

Investigating Arabic Speakers’ Emotions Using Speech Rhythm Metrics

2017 European Modelling Symposium (EMS), 2017
This paper focuses on emotion classification to investigate the relationship between rhythm metrics (Interval Measure (IM), and Pairwise Variability Index (PVI)), and emotions of speakers, all derived from the speech signal alone. The five considered emotions are “neutral,” “happiness,” “sadness,” “surprise,” and “questioning,” which are considered in ...
