The minute she walked out the door, they sat down, had their dinner quietly and cleanly in front of their favorite show, then they asked to watch a video on their folk's bed and announced to me that they were going to sleep about an hour before their usual bedtime. They KNEW they would not get away with anything with me - without a word from me. And they didn't get any of the pleasure of manipulating their mother to the point of making her cry almost every day. So, they behaved and had a nice evening at home without her.
Kids need rules, that's all. Rules do not exclude fun. But rules help kids be free of most of the other behavioral options available to them, like what you see in these pictures.
This, however, is a better example of neural programming. While it is interesting that everybody got the third note "correct", it's because of sensation triggers in the visual field. The ratio of the dance steps are proportional to one another. Thus, the expectation at even a subconcious level, is to follow the same musical distance, which we call an interval. In this case, it is a called a "major second", or "whole step" (think skipped notes on a piano).
The other parts of mimicry, such as when the crowd gets the high and low notes merely by his movements, are directly related to the fact that they hear him singing these pitches earlier in the piece. In music, subtle neural programming goes on during repetition of simple material and listening to melody. The brain has this amazing ability to construct and compare, analyze and order. That's what's so cool about music. It's like fun exercise for your brain. NEAT!!!
It is still really in its infantile state so far, and I'm a pretty busy guy. But I'm plotting and documenting, researching and picking up pieces here and there. I visit here often. I'll be pitching my book at neatorama anyway, so who knows?
