The role of tone height, melodic contour, and tone chroma in melody recognition.
The present experiments assessed the contribution of tone height, melodic contour, and tone chroma to melody recognition. Rather than using highly familiar folk songs as in earlier studies, subjects were taught new melodies. Novel melodies were used to (a) more precisely control potential cues (e.g., rhythm) that are not of present interest, (b) eliminate unison intervals that cannot be transfo...
متن کاملF0 peak timing, height, and shape as independent features
A considerable amount of evidence from several intonation languages (e.g., German, English, Italian) supports the idea that F0 peak timing, height, and shape variables form a feature bundle, which is used to encode two-fold intonational (e.g., sentence-level) pitch accent distinctions such as L+H* vs. L*+H. The three types of features in the bundle can be weighted differently but the outcome se...
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 کاملThe Perceptual Salience of Amplitude Modulated Cortical Stimulation: Peak Equivalence or RMS Equivalence?
Regele, Oliver B. M.S.B.M.E., Purdue University, May 2013. The Perceptual Salience of Amplitude Modulated Cortical Stimulation: Peak Equivalence or RMS Equivalence? Major Professor: Kevin Otto. Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) is a method of electrically stimulating the primary motor, visual, somatosensory and auditory cortices in the brain. The goal is to replace deficient sensory functio...
