Using melodic recall paradigm data, we describe an algorithmic approach to assessing
melodic learning across multiple attempts. In a first simulation experiment, we reason for …

Listening to music is an enjoyable activity for most individuals, yet the factors that relate to
aesthetic preferences are not completely understood. In the present article, we investigate …

Human beings are born with several abilities which are amenable to change. A growing
number of studies have focused on the relations between musical and cognitive abilities but …

An acceleration or deceleration in the rate of music is described as a tempo drift. This study
investigated tempo drift and how tempo drift might be influenced by a sliding frequency shift …

Listeners can recognize musical excerpts less than one second in duration (plinks). We
investigated the roles of timbre and implicit absolute pitch for plink identification, and the …

We studied memory for harmony using a melody-and-accompaniment texture and 10
commercially successful songs of Western popular music. The harmony was presented as a …

Introduction To survive, organisms need to organize perceptual input into coherent, usable
structures. Research has illuminated the potential role of frequency of occurrence and …

A serial digit recall experiment was conducted to test for differences in short-term memory
(STM) interference in both absolute pitch (AP) and non-absolute pitch (NAP) possessors …

Human beings are born with several abilities which are amenable to change. A growing
number of studies have focused on the relations between musical and cognitive abilities but …

Understanding how we gain representations of music is crucial for a comprehensive
understanding of music perception. Several studies suggest that listeners extract statistical …
