The Tritone Paradox among Chinese Children Aged
The tritone paradox is produced by a basic pattern that consists of an ordered pair of Shepard tones that are related by a half-octave (i.e., a tritone). When listeners judge whether such tone pairs ascend or descend in pitch, their judgments show systematic relationships to the positions of the tones along the pitch-class circle: Tones in one region of the circle are heard as higher and tones ...

متن کاملThe Tritone Paradox: An Influence of Language on Music Perception
The tritone paradox is produced when two tones that are related by a half-octave (or tritone) are presented in succession. Each tone is composed of a set of octave-related harmonics, whose amplitudes are determined by a bell-shaped spectral envelope; thus the tones are clearly defined in terms of pitch class, but poorly defined in terms of height. When listeners judge whether such tone pairs fo...
متن کاملA Challenging Issue in the Etiology of Speech Problems: The Effect of Maternal Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields on Speech Problems in the Offspring
Background: Nowadays, mothers are continuously exposed to different sources of electromagnetic fields before and even during pregnancy. It has recently been shown that exposure to mobile phone radiation during pregnancy may lead to adverse effects on the brain development in offspring and cause hyperactivity. Researchers have shown that behavioral problems in laboratory animals which have a s...
متن کاملSpectral-motion aftereffects and the tritone paradox among Canadian subjects.
The effect of spectral motion on the tritone paradox was investigated by pretesting subjects residing in southwestern Ontario, Canada, on the tritone task, presenting them with a continuous ascending or descending chromatic scale created using Shepard tones, and then retesting them on the tritone task. Results indicated a negative-motion aftereffect that affected the orientation of the pitch cl...
