A Theory of Instrument-Specific Absolute Pitch

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
While absolute pitch (AP)—the ability to name musical pitches globally and without reference—is rare in expert musicians, anecdotal evidence suggests that some musicians may better identify pitches played on their primary instrument than pitches played ...

Precision of pitch memory and accuracy of pitch labeling in absolute pitch perception

Journal of Human Environmental Studies, 2014
Absolute pitch (AP) is assumed to involve both pitch memory and pitch labeling for musical pitches. While people with AP possess both, non-AP individuals possess only pitch memory.

Vowel identity between note labels confuses pitch identification in non-absolute pitch possessors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
The simplest and likeliest assumption concerning the cognitive bases of absolute pitch (AP) is that at its origin there is a particularly skilled function which matches the height of the perceived pitch to the verbal label of the musical tone.

How Stable is Pitch Labeling Accuracy in Absolute Pitch Possessors?

Empirical Musicology Review, 2019
Absolute pitch (AP) is the ability to identify or produce a given pitch without a reference. This study examines the stability of pitch labeling accuracy in a broad sample of AP possessors when natural complex tones are compared to modified sound ...

The Effect of Pitch Height, Timbre and Octave Error on Absolute Pitch Accuracy. Educational Implications

Review of Artistic Education, 2019
The accuracy of absolute pitch has often fallen into mythical perspectives, as this rare ability tends to fascinate people through its spectacular results. Many people tend to think that a musician with absolute pitch is always capable of identifying the

How regularity representations of short sound patterns that are based on relative or absolute pitch information establish over time: An EEG study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The recognition of sound patterns in speech or music (e.g., a melody that is played in different keys) requires knowledge about pitch relations between successive sounds.

Early cortical processing of pitch height and the role of adaptation and musicality

NeuroImage, 2021
Pitch is an important perceptual feature; however, it is poorly understood how its cortical correlates are shaped by absolute vs relative fundamental frequency (f0), and by neural adaptation.

Pitch and Plasticity: Insights from the Pitch Matching of Chords by Musicians with Absolute and Relative Pitch

Brain Sciences, 2013
Absolute pitch (AP) is a form of sound recognition in which musical note names are associated with discrete musical pitch categories. The accuracy of pitch matching by non-AP musicians for chords has recently been shown to depend on stimulus familiarity,

Change detection of auditory tonal patterns defined by absolute versus relative pitch information. A combined behavioural and EEG study.

PLoS ONE, 2021
The human auditory system often relies on relative pitch information to extract and identify auditory objects; such as when the same melody is played in different keys.

Absolute Pitch and Planum Temporale

NeuroImage, 2001
An increased leftward asymmetry of the planum temporale (PT) in absolute-pitch (AP) musicians has been previously reported, with speculation that early exposure to music influences the degree of PT asymmetry. To test this hypothesis and to determine whether a larger left PT or a smaller right PT actually accounts for the increased overall PT asymmetry ...
