alternate between attention and ease_research timeline and research questions

alternate between attention and ease explores cognitive load and how we remember associations between sets of unrelated elements dependent on the structure of their presentation and the inherent difficulty of the task. It focuses on the way intrinsic, extraneous, and germane cognitive load affects the response time to a series of cues given by two speakers to the orchestra. The two cueing players each have a set of 24 words and samples that are used to instruct the orchestra. The word and sample cues are related (e.g. the word ‘cow’ and the sound of a cow mooing), and each cue is linked to a major or minor triad, played by the orchestra (e.g. ‘door’ is A major). The cueing players develop sequences and associations between the cues, such as gun/dog or water/gate, to which the orchestra respond as quickly as possible. The resultant texture is a map of the speed of response of the individual orchestral players, with the cueing players making it harder or simpler for the orchestra to respond correctly. The conductor also has a set of cues that initiate noise drone samples and static noise sounds from the orchestra. The piece alternates between these two cueing systems to manage the cognitive load.Commissioned by BBC Radio 3 and first performed on 7 May 2017 at Tectonics Music Festival by BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Parkinson Saunders, conducted by Ilan Volkov.This item contains the research timeline and questions for alternate between attention and ease.

本数据集通过交替关注与轻松，探讨了认知负荷与记忆无关元素集合之间的关联性，这一关联性取决于其呈现的结构和任务固有的难度。研究聚焦于内在、外在和相关的认知负荷如何影响两位演讲者向乐团提供的系列提示的反应时间。两位提示演奏者各自拥有一组24个词汇和样本，用于指导乐团。词汇和样本提示之间相关联（例如，'牛'与牛叫声），每个提示都与乐团演奏的大三和弦或小三和弦相联系（例如，'门'对应A大调）。提示演奏者发展出一系列的提示和关联，如枪/狗或水/门，乐团需尽可能快速地对此作出回应。结果纹理映射了各个乐团演奏者的反应速度，提示演奏者通过增加或简化乐团正确回应的难度来调整这一纹理。指挥也拥有一套提示，用于引发乐团的噪声嗡嗡声和静态噪声。作品通过交替这两种提示系统来管理认知负荷。该作品由BBC Radio 3委托创作，并于2017年5月7日在Tectonics音乐节上由BBC苏格兰交响乐团和Parkinson Saunders首次演出，由Ilan Volkov指挥。本项包含'交替关注与轻松'的研究时间表和问题。
