The present study tested quantified predictors based on the bottom-up principles of Narmour's (1990) implication-realization model of melodic expectancy against continuity ratings collected for a tone...
Time estimates of 12 intervals of 15 to 65 sec. duration were obtained from 30 subjects by one of two methods, magnitude estimation and cross-modal matching. Three kinds of sequences of musical notes ...
A method of time-series analysis and a time-beating experiment were used to test the structural and perceptual validity of notated metre. Autocorrelation applied to the flow of melodic intervals betwe...
The perceptual octave is larger than the physical octave, i.e., most listeners perceive that two tones are an octave apart when their frequency ratio is greater than 2. This result is known as the oct...
For normal-hearing adult listeners, two simultaneous pure tones with a frequency ratio close to 2/1 may perceptually fuse into a single sound, which shows that such listeners are sensitive to "octave ...
