Within the field of cognitive psychology, one issue of theoretical debate concerns the relationship between an event's temporal (e.g., rhythm, rate, total duration) and nontemporal (e.g., sequence of pitch intervals) information. Some argue these are jointly encoded into the cognitive system, whereas others claim they are encoded in an independent fashion. This issue was investigated in 2 experiments that systematically manipulated participants' attention to the temporal and pitch properties of melodies and then examined participants' subsequent remembering of these structural dimensions. The results indicate that the nature of encoding is strongly dependent on the structure of environmental events and the degree of learning experience. This relationship in turn has implications for theories of both music cognition and time estimation behavior.
在认知心理学领域，一个理论争议问题涉及事件的时间（如节奏、速率、总时长）和非时间（如音高间隔序列）信息之间的关系。一些人认为这些信息会共同编码到认知系统中，而另一些人则声称它们是以独立的方式进行编码的。在两项实验中对这一问题进行了研究，实验系统地操控了参与者对旋律的时间和音高属性的注意力，然后考察了参与者随后对这些结构维度的记忆情况。结果表明，编码的性质在很大程度上取决于环境事件的结构以及学习经验的程度。这种关系反过来对音乐认知理论和时间估计行为理论都具有启示意义。
