The Neural Reality of Pitch Chroma in Early Infancy
Developmental Science, Volume 28, Issue 4, July 2025.ABSTRACT At the physical level, the experience of pitch has a single determinant: the repetition rate of a waveform in the acoustic signal. Yet, psychologists describe pitch as composed of two perceptual dimensions, height and chroma. Chroma accounts for octave equivalence, whereby sounds with fundamental frequencies at a 1:2 ratio are perceived as ...

Cognitive Science, Volume 49, Issue 6, June 2025.Abstract Communication is harder in larger communities. Past research shows that this leads larger communities to create languages that are easier to learn and use. In particular, previous research suggests that spoken languages that are used by larger communities are more sound symbolic than spoken languages used by smaller communities, presumably ...
