We are used to this form and often bored by its expectedness, its formulaic banality
Examples of 'expectedness' in a sentence
expectedness
Finally, we simulate listeners' perception of expectedness and uncertainty using computational models of auditory expectation.

Ratings of explicit uncertainty and expectedness for different continuations of each melodic excerpt were collected.

The results showed that expert musicians have acquired probabilistic characteristics of music influencing their experience of expectednessand predictive uncertainty.

Engagement of top-down attention to target stimuli increased their perceived duration to the same extent irrespective of their expectedness.

Previous studies of auditory expectation have focused on the expectedness perceived by listeners retrospectively in response to events.
