Listeners' successful search for melodies scrambled into several octaves

Musical Experience and Tonal Scales in the Recognition of Octave-scrambled Melodies

Octave-scrambled melodies, having their pitches randomly distributed over several octaves, are difficult to recognize, Such melodies do not preserve pitch-interval patterns of undistorted melodies, but only their sequence of chromas that quality of pitch shared by tones an octave apart. In four experiments subjects heard chroma­ only octave-scrambled melodies preceded by melody cues: unscramble...

Mapping Scrambled Korean Senteces into English Using Synchronous TAGs

Synchronous Tree Adjoining Grammars can be used for Machine Translation. However, translating a free order language such as Korean to English is complicated. I present a mechanism to translate scrambled Korean sentences into English by combining the concepts of Multi-Component TAGs (MC-TAGs) and Synchronous TAGs (STAGs). 1 M o t i v a t i o n Tree Adjoining Grammars (TAGs) were first developed ...

Modeling Memory for Melodies

The aim of the presented study was to find structural descriptions of melodies that influence recognition memory for melodies. 24 melodies were played twice to 42 test persons. In the second turn, some of the melodies were changed, and the subjects were asked whether they think that the melody has been exactly the same as in the first turn or not. The variables used to predict the subject judgm...
