Özet: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of mimics that are congruent with the emotional states that match the pre-selected music pieces and are not compatible with the rhythm synchronization of preschool children. Participants included 96 children, 60-71 months old, in the province of Istanbul. Researcher Musical Synchronization Task (MST) has been developed to measure children's rhythm synchronization. In addition, the Heads-Toes-Knees-Shoulders Task (HTKS) was used to control the cognitive flexibility of children. According to the results, mimics that match the emotional states felt in music pieces are more effective for children to synchronize rhythmically. Secondly, the congruency affects synchronization positively, without making any difference (happy or neutral) in the mood types selected for the study. While these results accompany other synchronization studies, it also pioneers in the literature in terms of looking at the effect of music and facial expressions in synchronization measurement. The study conveys sub-dimensions of embodied cognition (emotion, perception and movement) act together, collaborative activity based on common intention is observed, and thanks to the harmony of the emotional cues of the mimic and music, the errors in the synchronization of the participants are reduced to low levels.
