10 - Applied MAWA Flashcards
transfer effect - basics
applied effects of the arts are based on a transfer effect between an arts function and a non-arts function (MAWA)
-> conjunction of art form and non-art form
2 transfer effects
near transfer:
- domain-specific or intra-model
-> arts close to targeted function
(ex. dance/locomotion to help mobility)
far transfer:
- domain-general or cross-modal
-> remote link
(ex. dancing and mood)
near-transfer elaborated
-> for rehabilitation:
- based on sharing of sensorimotor processes between the arts function and the non-arts function (MAWA) (ex. dance mediating mobility problems)
-> arts more structured/elaborated compared to non-arts functions (ex. dance: going beyond basic functions, adding specific functions/movements (ex. melody))
Melodic Intonation therapy
- musics offers scales and rhythm
-> having people sing phrases adds on to speech which can help to retain speaking
(conjunction of singing and speaking)
Dance for Parkinson’s
- sharing/conjunction of walking and dancing
-> marching has time-keeper/rhythm to it, giving more structure
-> intra-modal/near-transfer due a lot of shared features
(physical rehabilitation)
Far transfer for psychotherapy (elaborated)
- evoke mental health effects (emotional appraisal, reward processing, attention, self-regulation, … -> domain general processes and art forms conjunction)
-> what helps depends on the person; making therapies way more interchangeable im terms of which approach is used (emotions/quality of life depends on personal pace and there is no general way to it)
-> therapies just showing small effect size
applied use of the arts - general
- arts domain
- format: either passive or active formats
- application: can be health (rehabilitation/prevention) or education (academics/development)
-> showing that arts therapies are rather separated
integrated arts therapies
; arts therapies are very specific (also lays in specialization of therapist)
-> expressive arts therapy (EXACT) going in the right direction of providing all kinds of therapy options but still has not integrated those (still used independently)
Applications in each domain
Narrative arts:
- visual arts -> art therapy
- dance -> dance therapy, movement therapy
- theater/storytelling -> drama therapy, expressive writing therapy
Performing arts:
- dance (see above)
- music -> music therapy
- theater/storytelling (see above)
Formats of art-therapy - basic distinction
can be active or passive (perception alone or perception & reproduction)
Passive formats (art therapy)
- no production, just observe
- privately (listening to something) or public performances/exhibits
active formats (art therapy)
- fixed performance or improvisation (more creative -> art-like)
- can be done in individual therapy or within a group
clinical applications
- rehabilitation or prevention (reduce risk of probable happenings)
-> ex. dance; physiology - improving vascular system, dance as exercise (music in dance, culture and sense of group motion also plays role here)
4+1 Ps for dancing
+1; physiology:
cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolism, weight, joints, muscles, stress relief
- person: non-verbal communication, pantomimic gestures, expressive gestures -> role playing
- patterning: balance, posture, coordination/synergies, locomotion/mobility, spatial cognition, motor learning -> movement patterns
- partnering: social interaction, body contact, interpersonal synergies, mutual entrainment, leading and following -> interaction
- pacing: movement initiation, movement timing, timing synergies -> timing/rythm
educational applications (arts effect on education) - basic idea
-> transfer effect; arts training to education (how life doings effect educational performance) -> sharing abilities (arts activity incorporation)
