  2. Counterpoint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterpoint

    Inspired by Spinoza, [6] Taneyev developed a theory which covers and generalizes a wide range of advanced contrapuntal phenomena, including what is known to the english-speaking theorists as invertible counterpoint (although he describes them mainly using his own, custom-built terminology), by means of linking them to simple algebraic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrapuntal_motion

    In music theory, contrapuntal motion is the general movement of two melodic lines with respect to each other. In traditional four-part harmony, it is important that lines maintain their independence, an effect which can be achieved by the judicious use of the four types of contrapuntal motion: parallel motion, similar motion, contrary motion, and oblique motion.

  8. Korte's third law of apparent motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korte's_third_law_of...

    The third law, particularly, describes how the increase in distance between two stimuli narrows the range of interstimulus intervals (ISI), which produce the apparent motion. [4] It holds that there is a requirement for the proportional decrease in the frequency in which two stimulators are activated in alternation with the increase in ISI to ...

  9. Mental chronometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_chronometry

    Simple reaction time is the motion required for an observer to respond to the presence of a stimulus. For example, a subject might be asked to press a button as soon as a light or sound appears. Mean RT for college-age individuals is about 160 milliseconds to detect an auditory stimulus, and approximately 190 milliseconds to detect visual stimulus.
