| Abstract | In Part I, we addressed the study of cognitive processes that underlie auditory
perception of music, and their neural correlates. The aim of the present
paper is to summarize empirical findings from music cognition research that
are relevant to three prominent music theoretic domains: rhythm, melody, and
tonality. Attention is paid to how cognitive processes like category formation,
stimulus grouping, and expectation can account for the music theoretic key
concepts in these domains, such as beat, meter, voice, consonance. We give an
overview of computational models that have been proposed in the literature
for a variety of music processing tasks related to rhythm, melody, and tonality.
Although the present state-of-the-art in computational modeling of music
cognition de nitely provides valuable resources for testing speci c hypotheses
and theories, we observe the need for models that integrate the various aspects
of music perception and cognition into a single framework. Such models
should be able to account for aspects that until now have only rarely been
addressed in computational models of music cognition, like the active nature
of perception and the development of cognitive capacities from infancy to
adulthood.
