...Rebecca N. Faubion-Trejo; James T. Mantell Listeners can recognize musical excerpts less than one second in duration (plinks). We investigated the roles of timbre and implicit absolute pitch for plink identification, and the time course associated with processing these cues, by measuring listeners...

...Zohar Eitan; Moshe Shay Ben-Haim; Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis It is undisputed that the cognition of tonal music is primarily established by pitch relationships set within a tonal scheme such as a major or minor key. The corresponding notion—that absolute pitch and absolute key are largely...

...Katrin Bittrich; Kathrin Schlemmer; Sven Blankenberger The present study investigated the impact of simple pair-association mechanisms for the acquisition of absolute pitch. At intervals of two weeks, participants ( N = 20 adult nonmusicians) completed three tone identification tests (pre, post...

...Stefanie A. Hutka; Claude Alain Absolute pitch (AP) is the rare ability to identify or produce a specific pitch without a reference pitch, which appears to be more prevalent in tone-language speakers than non-tone-language speakers. Numerous studies support a close relationship between AP, music...

.... This model makes a unique prediction that musicians with absolute pitch (AP) should be biased towards compensating for objectively mistuned notes in a single note imitation task. In this paper, we tested this prediction by asking musicians with and without AP to imitate vocal notes that are either well-tuned...

...Christopher Aruffo; Robert L. Goldstone; David J. D. Earn When a musical tone is sounded, most listeners are unable to identify its pitch by name. Those listeners who can identify pitches are said to have absolute pitch perception (AP). A limited subset of musicians possesses AP, and it has been...

...Anders Dohn; Eduardo A. Garza-Villarreal; Lars Riisgaard Ribe; Mikkel Wallentin; Peter Vuust Absolute pitch (AP) is the ability to identify or produce pitches of musical tones without an external reference. Active AP (i.e., pitch production or pitch adjustment) and passive AP (i.e., pitch...

This indicates that although there may be a developmental increase with age in the length of time a memory can be held, for both 6-month-old infants and adults, memory for the absolute pitch of isolated tones fades rapidly. © 2008 By the Regents...

... that the distributional view is far from a complete explanation of human key identification. No difference was found between participants with regard to absolute pitch ability, either in the speed or accuracy of their key judgments. Several key-finding models were tested on the melodies to see which yielded the best...

...E. Glenn Schellenberg; Sandra E. Trehub ABSOLUTE PITCH (AP) IS THE ABILITY TO IDENTIFY OR produce a musical note in isolation. As traditionally defined, AP requires accurate pitch memory as well as knowledge of note names. The incidence of AP is higher in Asia than it is in North America.We used...
