Absolute pitch: perception, coding, and controversies.
Recent findings in cognitive neuroscience and cognitive psychology are converging to shed light on the nature of processing, categorization and memory for pitch in humans and animals. Although most people are unable to name or place pitch values in consistent, well-defined categories, as they do for color, stable long-term memory for pitch has been shown in certain animal species, in infants, a...
متن کاملAbsolute Pitch and L Tone Perception by Non-mu Absolute Pitch Non-tonal
In this paper we investigate whether musically trained nontonal language speakers perceive lexical tone better than their non-musician counterparts. Three groups of English language speakers, non-musicians, musicians, and musicians with absolute pitch (n=24, N=72), were tested for same/different discrimination of Central Thai tone pairs. These were presented in three separate conditions: as spe...
متن کاملDial A440 for absolute pitch: absolute pitch memory by non-absolute pitch possessors.
Listeners without absolute (or "perfect") pitch have difficulty identifying or producing isolated musical pitches from memory. Instead, they process the relative pattern of pitches, which remains invariant across pitch transposition. Musically untrained non-absolute pitch possessors demonstrated absolute pitch memory for the telephone dial tone, a stimulus that is always heard at the same absol...
متن کاملAbsolute Pitch: Effects of Timbre on Note-Naming Ability
BACKGROUND Absolute pitch (AP) is the ability to identify or produce isolated musical tones. It is evident primarily among individuals who started music lessons in early childhood. Because AP requires memory for specific pitches as well as learned associations with verbal labels (i.e., note names), it represents a unique opportunity to study interactions in memory between linguistic and nonling...
متن کاملPerception of Words and Pitch Patterns in Song and Speech
THIS FUNCTIONAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING STUDY EXAMINES SHARED AND DISTINCT CORTICAL AREAS INVOLVED IN THE AUDITORY PERCEPTION OF SONG AND SPEECH AT THE LEVEL OF THEIR UNDERLYING CONSTITUENTS: words and pitch patterns. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to isolate the neural correlates of the word- and pitch-based discrimination between song and speech, corrected for rhythmic...
