【 摘 要 】

Humans often feel motivated to move their bodies in response to music; this experience is generallyreferred to as “feeling the groove.” In this paper we discuss ideas about how the experience of groovecan be modeled from a psychological point of view.As a musical term, groove was originally coined in the context of Western popular music(Pfleiderer, 2006, p. 297ff; Abel, 2014, p. 18) where it has several meanings. It may refer to a repeatedpattern that represents the basis of a piece (“a groove,” Zbikowski, 2004). It may also denote thetemporal interaction and effortless synchronized performance within a band (“to groove,” Berliner,1994, p. 388; Keil, 1995; Doffman, 2008, p. 11; Hosken, 2018), or the power of music to provokebody movement in listeners (Roholt, 2014, p. 85).
