Absolute Memory for Melody: a S
نویسنده
چکیده
A number of recent recognition and production studies using classical music, pop songs, and folk songs suggest that longterm memory retains more than only relational information on stored melodies: Non-musicians and non-AP-possessors seem to be able to recall absolute pitches and absolute tempo. Here, choir singers were tested on memory for the key of wellrehearsed pieces. Two groups of participants were asked to reproduce choir-pieces from memory 5 and 10 months after the concert, respectively. Results support the notion of accurate starting pitches being stored in long-term memory.

Memory for melody: infants use a relative pitch code.
Pitch perception is fundamental to melody in music and prosody in speech. Unlike many animals, the vast majority of human adults store melodic information primarily in terms of relative not absolute pitch, and readily recognize a melody whether rendered in a high or a low pitch range. We show that at 6 months infants are also primarily relative pitch processors. Infants familiarized with a melo...

متن کاملA role for the intraparietal sulcus in transforming musical pitch information.
The present functional magnetic resonance imaging study investigates the neural substrates of relative pitch. Musicians and nonmusicians performed 2 same/different discrimination tasks (simple and transposed melody) that differed in whether they required precise encoding and comparison of relative pitch structure, along with 2 control tasks (rhythm and phoneme). The transposed melody task invol...
متن کاملLong Memory in Stock Returns: A Study of Emerging Markets
The present study aimed at investigating the existence of long memory properties in ten emerging stock markets across the globe. When return series exhibit long memory, it indicates that observed returns are not independent over time. If returns are not independent, past returns can help predict future returns, thereby violating the market efficiency hypothesis. It poses a serious challenge to ...
