Absolute pitch: Common traits in music and language

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2014
Absolute pitch in music means an ability of long-term auditory memory to store pitch standards corresponding to within-octave musical pitch classes, based on a generally recognized reference pitch. Such an ability, extremely rare among Western musicians,

Electrophysiological Correlates of Absolute Pitch and Relative Pitch [PDF]

open access: yesCerebral Cortex, 2004
The temporal and spatial characteristics of the cortical processes responsible for absolute pitch (AP) and relative pitch (RP) were investigated by multi-channel event-related potentials (ERPs). Compared to listening, pitch-naming of tones in non-possessors of AP elicited three ERP components (P3b, parietal positive slow wave, frontal negative slow ...

Absolute Pitch and Its Frequency Range

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2013
This paper has two distinct parts. Section 1 includes general discussion of the phenomenon of “absolute pitch” (AP), and presentation of various concepts concerning definitions of “full”, “partial” and “pseudo” AP. Sections 2–4 include presentation of

Articulatory motor planning and timbral idiosyncrasies as underlying mechanisms of instrument-specific absolute pitch in expert musicians.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
The study of musical expertise illustrates how intense training in a specialized domain may instigate development of implicit skills. While absolute pitch, or the ability to identify musical pitches without external reference, is rare even in ...

A reevaluation of the electrophysiological correlates of absolute pitch and relative pitch: No evidence for an absolute pitch-specific negativity. [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Psychophysiology, 2018
Musicians with absolute pitch effortlessly identify the pitch of a sound without an external reference. Previous neuroscientific studies on absolute pitch have typically had small samples sizes and low statistical power, making them susceptible for false positive findings. In a seminal study, Itoh et al.

Case studies on absolute pitch

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2014
Absolute pitch (AP) seems to be one of the most remarkable phenomena of the longterm auditory memory. AP possessors can identify or also produce musical pitches (e.g. C, C#, D, etc.) without using any external reference tone.

Absolute pitch and its implications for music

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2014
Absolute pitch is defined as an ability to identify musical pitch of single tones presented in isolation. There has been so far little empirical research investigating in detail how people with absolute pitch perceive musical pitch, so absolute pitch is ...

Categorical perception in absolute pitch

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2014
Three music students, possessing of absolute pitch, participated in an experiment of categorical identification of two adjacent musical pitch categories A#_4 and B_4.

Familial Aggregation of Absolute Pitch [PDF]

open access: yesThe American Journal of Human Genetics, 2000
Absolute pitch (AP) is a behavioral trait that is defined as the ability to identify the pitch of tones in the absence of a reference pitch. AP is an ideal phenotype for investigation of gene and environment interactions in the development of complex human behaviors.

Experiments on long-term and short-term memory for pitch in musicians

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2014
A series of experiments on the memory for pitch was performed with 18 musicians. They had to pass a pitch-naming and a newly-designed pitch-producing test meant to check their passive and active absolute-pitch ability.
