Infants' perception of melodies: the role of melodic contour.
Infants 8-11 months of age were exposed to repetitions of a 6-tone sequence or melody, then tested for their discrimination of transpositions of that sequence as well as other melodic transformations previously used by Massaro, Kallman, and Kelly with adults. In experiment 1, infants showed evidence of discriminating all transformations from the original melody. In Experiment 2, the task was ma...
متن کاملCross-modal Melodic Contour Similarity
In two experiments participants rated the similarity of melodic contours presented as auditory (melodies) and visual (line drawings) stimuli. Longer melodies were assessed in Experiment 1 (M = 35 notes); shorter melodies were assessed in Experiment 2 (M = 17 notes). Ratings for matched auditory and visual contours exceeded ratings for mismatched contours, confi rming cross-modal sensitivity to ...
متن کاملTemporal Aspects of Melodic Contour Processing
Melodic contour information is an important cue for song recognition. When listening to novel melodies, contour information tends to be encoded before exact interval information. Alterations to the precise intervals of the melody are often undetected, provided that they do not change the melodic contour. Prior research has suggested that, while the immediate note-to-note contour is most salient...
متن کاملMelodic contour identification by cochlear implant listeners.
OBJECTIVE While the cochlear implant provides many deaf patients with good speech understanding in quiet, music perception and appreciation with the cochlear implant remains a major challenge for most cochlear implant users. The present study investigated whether a closed-set melodic contour identification (MCI) task could be used to quantify cochlear implant users' ability to recognize musical...
متن کاملMelodic Contour Identification Reflects the Cognitive Threshold of Aging
Cognitive decline is a natural phenomenon of aging. Although there exists a consensus that sensitivity to acoustic features of music is associated with such decline, no solid evidence has yet shown that structural elements and contexts of music explain this loss of cognitive performance. This study examined the extent and the type of cognitive decline that is related to the contour identificati...
