English term

adaptive function

English to Italian Science Psychology
Not everyone agrees with this view, however. Steven Pinker once famously described music as "auditory cheesecake" - pleasurable but with no adaptive function. What's more, there is some evidence that amusia is not a purely musical deficit but is linked to problems with language or spatial processing. So perhaps amusia (and by extension, normal music perception) is rooted in the brain circuits that handle intonation in language, or that look after the concepts of "highness" and "lowness" central to our mental representations of melody.
Mi interesserebbe la traduzione di adaptive function. Ho pensato a "funzione adattiva" ma non ne sono sicuro.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

funzione adattativa

e per fortuna è "solo" una traduzione e non abbiamo bisogno di esplorare il senso complicatissimo di 'funzione adattativa' in realzione alla amusia :))))))

ma poiché sono curiosa (e anche un po' incosciente ;))

Mentre risulta che una piccola percentuale di persone (probabilmente il 4-5%) ha un’ intenso e specifico deficit percettivo (definito “amusia congenita” da Peretz e coll.), ben il 15% di una popolazione dell’età del college si autodefinisce stonata

Ma a dispetto del suo ruolo centrale nella cultura umana, le origini e la funzione adattativa della musica rimangono di fatto un mistero assoluto. A differenza della maggior parte degli altri comportamenti piacevoli umani, la musica produce un beneficio non del tutto evidente a coloro che ne partecipano. La musica ha così disorientato i teorici dell’evoluzione fin dal tempo di Darwin.
