...William Choi; Cheuk Lam Katie Ling; Chun Him Jason Wu Different musical instruments have different pitch processing demands. However, correlational studies have seldom considered the role of musical instruments in music-to-language transfer. Addressing this research gap could contribute...

...Jordaine Tran; Laura Marie Getz In three studies, we investigated how the pitch, tempo, and timbre of music can influence perception of an advertised product’s features. To do so, we created radio advertisements where either the pitch, tempo, or timbre of the music was manipulated. Participants...

...Sarah C. Creel; Reina Mizrahi; Alicia G. Escobedo; Li Zhao; Gail D. Heyman Numerous studies suggest that speakers of some tone languages show advantages in musical pitch processing compared to non-tone language speakers. A recent study in adults (Jasmin et al., 2021) suggests that in addition...

...Lindsey Reymore; Jason Noble; Charalampos Saitis; Caroline Traube; Zachary Wallmark The main objective of this study is to understand how timbre semantic associations—for example, a sound’s timbre perceived as bright, rough, or hollow—vary with register and pitch height across instruments...

...Emily Schwitzgebel; Christopher Wm. White This study tests the respective roles of pitch-class content and bass patterns within harmonic expectation using a mix of behavioral and computational experiments. In our first two experiments, participants heard a paradigmatic chord progression derived...

Vuvan; Bryn Hughes Krumhansl and Kessler’s (1982 ) pioneering experiments on tonal hierarchies in Western music have long been considered the gold standard for researchers interested in the mental representation of musical pitch structure. The current experiment used the probe tone...

... is necessary for song to be perceived in speech is unclear. One possibility is that by default pitch is not a salient attribute of speech in non-tonal languages, as spectral information is more vital for determining meaning. However, repetition may satiate lexical processing, increasing pitch salience...

Rameau and Helmholtz derived musical intervals from the harmonic series, which is audible in everyday sounds including voiced speech; but those intervals, like musical intervals, are perceived categorically. Musical...

I will also consider disruptions of the perception-production network that are evident in tone-deaf individuals and poor pitch...

...Simone Dalla Bella Important individual differences characterize singing in adult nonmusicians. In spite of the fact that the majority can carry a tune, some occasional singers are particularly inaccurate or imprecise in producing or imitating pitch (poor-pitch singers). Poor-pitch singing can...

To answer this question, we analyzed a corpus of compositions by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin, tabulating the frequency...
