In five experiments, we investigated the speed of pitch resolution in a musical context. In experiments 1-3, listeners were presented an incomplete scale (doh, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti) and then a probe tone. Listeners were instructed to make a rapid key-press response to probe tones that were relatively proximal in pitch to the last note of the scale (valid trials), and to ignore other probe tones (invalid trials). Reaction times were slower if the pitch of the probe tone was dissonant with the expected pitch (i.e., the completion of the scale, or doh) or if the probe tone was nondiatonic to the key implied by the scale. In experiments 4 and 5, listeners were presented a two-octave incomplete arpeggio, and then a probe tone. In this case, listeners were asked to make a rapid key-press response to probe tones that were relatively distant in pitch from the last note of the arpeggio. Under these conditions, registral direction and pitch proximity were the dominant influences on reaction time. Results are discussed in view of research on auditory attention and models of musical pitch.
在五项实验中,我们研究了在音乐情境中音调分辨的速度。在实验1至3中,向听众呈现一个不完整的音阶(哆、唻、咪、发、嗦、啦、唏),然后是一个探测音。要求听众对音高与音阶最后一个音符相对接近的探测音(有效试验)做出快速按键反应,并忽略其他探测音(无效试验)。如果探测音的音高与预期音高(即音阶的完成音,或哆)不和谐,或者探测音与音阶所暗示的调式非全音阶,反应时间会变慢。在实验4和5中,向听众呈现一个两个八度的不完整琶音,然后是一个探测音。在这种情况下,要求听众对音高与琶音最后一个音符相对较远的探测音做出快速按键反应。在这些条件下,音区方向和音高接近度是对反应时间的主要影响因素。我们根据听觉注意力的研究和音乐音高模型对结果进行了讨论。
