Question

What is true about how the human eye works? (p. 114)

a.It captures multiple successive zoomed-in pictures.

b.It works more like a computer scanner than a camera.

c.It captures an entire panoramic picture like a wide-lens shapshot camera.

Based on the research of Sloboda (1976) and Lehamann and Ericsson (1996), if a good sight-readers are presented with music notation with a few incorrect notes or omitted notes, what are they likely to do, and why? (p. 117)

a.They will play the expected correct notes because they play according to identified larger patterns and not individual notes.

b.They will play the incorrect notes and play nothing for omitted notes because they are precise producers of the notation.

c.They will stop playing altogether because of the violations of style and music theory.

Answer 1

Answer 1) Answer is option C as because our eye gives a wide angle view of 180 degree. With a frame rate of 16 in a single second,hence we get a panoramic picture just like a wide lens snapshot camera. Our eye doesn't scans the area but it captures hence second option is false followed by first that we what the object is hence no zoom effect is seen.

Answer 2) Based on the research if a good sight person and good knowledge of music plays the notes they will play correct notes because they play according to identified larger patterns but in case of the good eye sight person with less knowledge of music will follow the option C because he only knows that what he needs to play rather than checking what all are missing or omitted.
