People may have been conditioned to associate certain styles of music with specific imagery and ideas through exposure to film scores or descriptions and titles of music. E.g. “Spring” from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons is bright and lively, and is associated with the season through the title. Other music with similar tones can evoke similar thoughts.
Any mention of the diversity of the study group? I didn't see any. I imagine not much. And I don't mean just racial diversity, although that is important, but more specifically, diversity as to the type of music they grew up with. Someone who grew up listening to traditional Indian music or Indonesian gamelan music might get some much different imagery than someone who grew up on Mozart or Alan Menken Disney songs.
