Description
Musical preference is shaped by listening experience
Listeners tend to like music they’ve heard before familiarity correlates with liking (1).
As listeners acquire knowledge of how music is structured, they make better predictions about events as they unfold.
Familiarity and prediction are key drivers of musical pleasure (2,3).
Present study aims to characterize the relationship between listening experience/exposure and preferences during childhood
