DESCRIPTION:*Abstract*\n\nThis presentation discusses the potential use of
  an incidental learning procedure for acquiring music information. The res
 earch investigates humans' ability to capture the relationship between two
  events in the environment\, aiming to investigate whether or not this hum
 an ability can be applied to skills normally considered hard to acquire\, 
 as for instance sightreading and pitch discrimination. I will first explor
 e how incidental learning might help automate key musical subskills necess
 ary for sight-reading and pitch identification. Following this\, I will sh
 are experimental findings that reveal significant improvements in sight-re
 ading skills and learning of pitch-label associations in both musicians an
 d nonmusicians. Ultimately\, this presentation provides new perspectives o
 n how incidental learning can be used to effectively acquire musical knowl
 edge.\n\n*Biography*\n\nClaudia Iorio is a researcher with a unique blend 
 of expertise in music and psychology\, deeply intrigued by the connection 
 between cognition and music. Her academic path began with Diploma in Viola
  and a PhD in Cognitive Psychology\, where she focused on areas such as in
 cidental learning in music and the effects of music on infant development.
  Over the years\, she has actively contributed to numerous research projec
 ts\, presented her work at both national and international conferences\, a
 nd taught courses in Cognitive Psychology. Beyond academia\, Claudia remai
 ns an enthusiastic musician\, performing globally and participating in var
 ious cultural initiatives.\n\n*Zoom link*\n\nhttps://zoom.us/j/99433440421
