The purpose of the present experiment was to investigate the influence of rhythmic structure on the perception of tonal relationships marking the end of a melody. Musically sophisticated listeners were asked to rate the degree of resolution in a set of folk tunes that varied in their tonal ending and temporal accent structure. The results indicated that melodies ending on the leading tone-to-tonic progression were judged the most complete, while the least complete were those leaving a listener "hanging" by ending on the leading tone note. These ratings, however, were influenced by the temporal accent structure of a tune. The highest degree of resolution was observed for melodies that ended "on time" through an invariant pattern of temporal/melodic accents. Accent structures that led to endings occurring earlier or later than expected resulted in significantly lower resolution ratings. The present results illustrate the need to incorporate dynamic pattern influences into models of tonal perception.
本实验的目的是研究节奏结构对标志旋律结束的音调关系感知的影响。要求音乐素养较高的听众对一组在音调结尾和时间重音结构上有所不同的民间曲调的解决程度进行评分。结果表明，以导音到主音进行结束的旋律被认为是最完整的，而最不完整的是那些以导音音符结束让听众“悬而未决”的旋律。然而，这些评分受到曲调时间重音结构的影响。对于通过不变的时间/旋律重音模式“准时”结束的旋律，观察到最高程度的解决。导致结束时间早于或晚于预期的重音结构会导致解决评分显著降低。目前的结果表明需要将动态模式影响纳入音调感知模型。
