Physically continuous sounds do not always produce the subjective impression of legato. In the present study, the effect of temporal factors on the impression of smoothness of a sound stream was systematically investigated in relation to the dynamic characteristics of hearing. The results showed that decaying sounds, successively presented, were perceived as being marginally connected when the sounds physically overlapped, while steady-state sounds were perceived as being marginally connected when they were physically separated. It was also shown that judgments by the subjects agreed quite well with the effect intended by the pianist when the passage was given in different temporal interpretations.
物理上连续的声音并不总是产生连奏的主观印象。在本研究中，结合听觉的动态特性，系统地研究了时间因素对音流平滑感印象的影响。结果表明，相继呈现的衰减声音在物理上重叠时被感知为勉强相连，而稳态声音在物理上分离时被感知为勉强相连。研究还表明，当以不同的时间诠释呈现乐段时，受试者的判断与钢琴家想要达到的效果相当吻合。
