Abstract
Abstract This chapter examines how the music researcher might model musical knowledge and music cognition through musical corpora. The authors propose a theoretical framework meant to assist researchers with how they understand the assumptions underlying corpus-based research in music. Specifically, it focuses on four categories: (1) the purpose of the model (formalizing rules, modeling environment–behavior interactions, or exploring layers of cognition), (2) the types of knowledge represented (declarative “know-that” vs. procedural “know-how”), (3) how knowledge is abstracted (figural one-to-one mappings vs. formal generalizable patterns), and (4) the explanatory power of the model (symbolic/transparent vs. subsymbolic/opaque model construction).
