RESUMO:

Singing is a high-order cognitive activity that involves several mental processes, among which sensorimotor integration stands out. One of the cognitive models created to explain its link with singing in tune, the Multimodal Imagery Association Model (MMIA), proposes that auditory imagery can assist this essential translation process for vocal imitation. In this way, this project aims to verify whether auditory imagery is related to a better performance in vocal imitation tasks (higher accuracy). We speculate that the creation of auditory imagery before vocalization can contribute to more accurate singing in vocal imitation tasks in different musical contexts. Also, because the singer is the musical instrument itself, it is speculated that individuals with greater body self-awareness of their internal signals may produce more vivid mental images of auditory material. Thirty-two individuals participated in this study, 15 singers (3 professionals), and eight non-singers. The session included a task of vocal imitation and questionnaires that assessed musicality, interoceptive awareness, voice handicap in singing, auditory imagery (vividness and control), and music performance anxiety. The task consisted of vocal imitation of short tonal (10) and atonal (10) melodies. In both contexts, the participants sang the melodies in two pseudo-randomized and counterbalanced conditions: a) with mentalization: after a time of 4s during which the participant had to mentalize the melody and indicate its vividness; b) without mentalization: after a 4 s task of reading digits out loud. Melodies with maximum absolute deviation from the fundamental frequency d(f0) = 200 cents were included in the analysis. Melodies with df0 ≤ 50 cents were considered correct. There was a significant difference in the mean d(f0) between conditions in the contexts and positive correlations between interoception and control of auditory images and between musicality and the vividness of auditory images. Interestingly, non-singers performed better in mentalized atonal trials. We speculate that anxiety may hinder the creation of auditory imagery.
