Few studies have compared the relationship between pitch discrimination accuracy and the accuracy of fundamental frequency (F(o)) control. This study investigated the relationship between vocal pitch-matching skills, which is one method of testing F(o) control, and pitch discrimination skills in untrained accurate and inaccurate singers, and the effect of timbre on their pitch discrimination accuracy. Data showed that accurate singers had more precise discrimination and pitch-matching abilities compared with their inaccurate counterparts. Pitch discrimination was differentially affected by the timbre (eg, spectral differences) of comparison tones. In addition, results showed a significant relationship between pitch discrimination abilities and pitch-matching accuracy. The results suggest that accurate F(o) control is at least partially dependent on pitch discrimination abilities, which are important for accurate singing.
很少有研究比较过音高辨别准确性与基频（F(o)）控制准确性之间的关系。本研究调查了未经训练的准确和不准确歌手的声乐音高匹配技能（测试F(o)控制的一种方法）与音高辨别技能之间的关系，以及音色对其音高辨别准确性的影响。数据表明，与不准确的歌手相比，准确的歌手具有更精确的辨别和音高匹配能力。比较音调的音色（例如，频谱差异）对音高辨别有不同的影响。此外，结果表明音高辨别能力与音高匹配准确性之间存在显著关系。结果表明，准确的F(o)控制至少部分依赖于音高辨别能力，而音高辨别能力对于准确歌唱很重要。
