Musical imagery: cognitive aspects of musical practice

2011, Estudos e Pesquisas em Psicologia

Abstract

A habilidade de produzir e manipular entidades mentais é mandatória para as mais sofisticadas atividades humanas, tais como antecipação de eventos, raciocínio e criatividade (MELLET, et al., 1998). Entre as faculdades centrais do processamento mental, figura a Imagética Mental 1 , que é definida usualmente, na ciência cognitiva 2 , como atos mentais não-literais de encenação e representação da experiência perceptiva quando da ausência de seu estímulo sensório exterior apropriado (HALPERN; ZATORRE, 1999; THOMAS, 2008), estando ligados às noções auditivas, visuais, tácteis, gustativas, olfativas, cinestésicas e orgânicas do Homem (DICKSTEIN; DEUTSCH, 2007). A temática da Imagética Mental tornou-se foco de discussão para um relevante número de pesquisadores da cognição, da psicologia e da neuropsicologia na década de 1970 (FARAH, 1995), o que resultou em uma explosão de publicação de artigos científicos de cunho empírico, experimental e teórico entre finados da década de 1970 e da década de 1980. Todavia, essas pesquisas tiveram como centralidade, quase que exclusivamente, as formas visuais da Imagética, ou seja, imaginação e representação espacial, estrutural e estética de cenários e objetos na mente humana (
