Musical Pitch Perception and Categorization in Listeners with No Musical Training Experience: Insights from Mandarin-Speaking Non-Musicians [PDF]
Behavioral Sciences (Basel, Switzerland)Pitch is a fundamental element in music. While most previous studies on musical pitch have focused on musicians, our understanding of musical pitch perception in non-musicians is still limited.

Musicianship Influences Language Effect on Musical Pitch Perception [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Given its practical implications, the effect of musicianship on language learning has been vastly researched. Interestingly, growing evidence also suggests that language experience can facilitate music perception.

Pitch Perception in the First Year of Life, a Comparison of Lexical Tones and Musical Pitch [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2017 Pitch variation is pervasive in speech, regardless of the language to which infants are exposed. Lexical tone is influenced by general sensitivity to pitch.

A Neurophysiological Study of Musical Pitch Identification in Mandarin-Speaking Cochlear Implant Users [PDF]
Neural Plasticity, 2020 Music perception in cochlear implant (CI) users is far from satisfactory, not only because of the technological limitations of current CI devices but also due to the neurophysiological alterations that generally accompany deafness.

Pitch as a Shared Code for Music and Speech: Behavioral and Neural Evidence From Stroke Patients [PDF]
Brain and BehaviorIntroduction Accurate pitch processing, including the ability to discriminate small differences in pitch, is essential for interpreting the melodic structure of both music and speech. However, the extent to which pitch discrimination is a shared auditory‐

The comparative effects of Cantonese and Mandarin tone language backgrounds on musical pitch perception [PDF]
Scientific ReportsExisting studies on language-to-music language transfer suggest that tone language background enhances musical pitch perception. However, tone language background was underrepresented as a binary yes-or-no variable in these studies.

Musical pitch identification by absolute pitch possessors [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1988 Musical pitch identification was investigated in two experiments in which absolute pitch (AP) possessors and nonpossessors categorized tones presented in isolation into predetermined pitch classes. Stimuli consisted of 60 different tones per octave (at intervals of 20 cents). The experiments were designed to minimize the possibility that subjects could

Binaural localization of musical pitch using interaural time differences in congenital amusia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Naturally occurring sounds are routinely periodic. The ability to phase-lock to such periodicity facilitates pitch perception and interaural time differences (ITDs) determination in binaural localization. We examined whether deficient pitch processing in

Perception of musical pitch in developmental prosopagnosia. [PDF]
Neuropsychologia, 2019 Studies of developmental prosopagnosia have often shown that developmental prosopagnosia differentially affects human face processing over non-face object processing. However, little consideration has been given to whether this condition is associated with perceptual or sensorimotor impairments in other modalities.
