Problems of temporal factors in the research for the effect of repeated exposure of music

Abstract

There have been　many　studies　for　the　effect of repeated exposure of music. In most of them, participants are exposed to musical pieces repeatedly and make affective ratings of each presentation. In the others, mere-exposure paradigm or correlational designs where no experimental operations are involved are applied. This article reviews these research paradigms and the problems of them, especially the problems relating to time factors. Recommendations for future research are discussed.
