This article is a review of the psychophysical study of pitch perception. The history of the study of pitch has seen a continual competition between spectral and temporal theories of pitch perception. The pitch of complex stimuli is likely based on the temporal regularities in a sound's waveform, with the strongest pitches occurring for stimuli with low-frequency components. Thus, temporal models, especially those based on autocorrelation-like processes, appear to account for the majority of the data.
本文是对音高感知心理物理学研究的综述。音高研究的历史见证了音高感知的频谱理论和时间理论之间持续不断的竞争。复杂刺激的音高可能基于声音波形中的时间规律，对于具有低频成分的刺激，会出现最强的音高。因此，时间模型，尤其是那些基于类似自相关过程的模型，似乎能够解释大部分数据。
