Thirty-five subjects with perfect pitch, representing 19 families, were studied with a Perfect Pitch Questionnaire, which provided information on note-recognition capacity and musical exposure and training, as well as demographic characteristics. Perfect pitch was found to predominate in females and was detected at a very early age. The significant family incidence of the trait suggests the operation of genetic mechanisms concerning which speculations are presented.
对来自19个家庭的35名具有绝对音高的受试者进行了研究，使用了一份绝对音高问卷，该问卷提供了关于音符识别能力、音乐接触和训练以及人口统计学特征的信息。发现绝对音高在女性中占主导地位，且在很小的时候就被发现。该特征显著的家族发病率表明存在遗传机制在起作用，并对此提出了一些推测。
