CORRELATION BETWEEN THE METACOGNITIVE SELF AND SELECTED FORMS OF MUSICAL TRAINING
Journal Title: Acta Neuropsychologica - Year 2015, Vol 13, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: The paper presents the concept of the metacognitive self and its correlations with selected features of musical training. Accurate insight into deviations from the rationality in one’s behaviour might be related to deliberate planning, analysing, and evaluating performance, as well as explaining the factors contributing to the results of musical training. It has been also assumed that the level of the metacognitive self could depend on the specific features of training, such as intensity and duration. Material/Methods: Research tools included a questionnaire constructed for the aim of the study, which measured variables associated with musical behaviour and the MJ-40 Scale, assessing the accuracy in the recognition of one’s own irrationality. The MJ-40 Scale comprises five subscales: judgemental biases, memory biases, irra tionality in thinking, recognition of social influence and reco gni tion of conflict between morality and efficiency. The technique of computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) was adopted in the re search. Results: The results show a significant correlation in the duration of musical training and accuracy in the perception of one’s own behaviour. The number of years devoted to musical training and the proportion of time spent on improvising during everyday practice, facilitate more frequent reflection on cognitive processes and thereby enhance accuracy in the recognition of one’s own irrationality.Conclusions: The presented study might provide insight into self-perception processes, specifically self-knowledge determined by the psychological processes entailed in musical training. As the previous descriptions and explanations of the relations between musical behaviour and the metacognitive self are incomplete, further research is necessary.
