Pitch discrimination interference between binaural and monaural or diotic pitches [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009
Fundamental frequency (F0) discrimination between two sequentially presented complex (target) tones can be impaired in the presence of an additional complex tone (the interferer) even when filtered into a remote spectral region [Gockel, H., et al. (2004). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 116, 1092–1104].

Categorical Perception of Mandarin Pitch Directions by Cantonese-Speaking Musicians and Non-musicians

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
Purpose: This study is to investigate whether Cantonese-speaking musicians may show stronger CP than Cantonese-speaking non-musicians in perceiving pitch directions generated based on Mandarin tones.

Writing System Modulates the Association between Sensitivity to Acoustic Cues in Music and Reading Ability: Evidence from Chinese–English Bilingual Children

Frontiers in Psychology, 2017
Music and language share many attributes and a large body of evidence shows that sensitivity to acoustic cues in music is positively related to language development and even subsequent reading acquisition.

Two-dimensional shape discrimination by sighted people using simulated virtual echoes [PDF]

JASA Express Letters, 2021
In this study, a new research method using psychoacoustic experiments and acoustic simulations is proposed for human echolocation research. A shape discrimination experiment was conducted for sighted people using pitch-converted virtual echoes from ...

Does fundamental-frequency discrimination measure virtual pitch discrimination? [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2010
Studies of pitch perception often involve measuring difference limens for complex tones (DLCs) that differ in fundamental frequency (F0). These measures are thought to reflect F0 discrimination and to provide an indirect measure of subjective pitch strength. However, in many situations discrimination may be based on cues other than the pitch or the F0,

Dichotic Perception of Lexical Tones in Cantonese-Speaking Congenital Amusics

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
Congenital amusia is an inborn neurogenetic disorder of musical pitch processing, which also induces impairment in lexical tone perception. However, it has not been examined before how the brain specialization of lexical tone perception is affected in ...

Influence of Nonhorizontal Orientation on Measurement of Insect Biological Parameters With Entomological Radar

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2022
Up till now, measurement of the biological parameters of insects traversing the beam of an entomological radar has been based on the assumption that the insects maintain a horizontal flight attitude.

Internal structure of intonational categories: The (dis)appearance of a perceptual magnet effect

Frontiers in Psychology, 2023
The question of whether intonation events are speech categories like phonemes and lexical tones has long been a puzzle in prosodic research. In past work, researchers have studied categoricality of pitch accents and boundary tones by examining perceptual

Place pitch discrimination and speech recognition in cochlear implants users

South African Journal of Communication Disorders, 1996
The considerable variability in speech perception performance among cochlear implant patients makes it difficult to compare the effectiveness of different speech processing strategies. One result is that optimal individualized processor parameter setting

Training pitch discrimination using colors

Journal of Vision, 2022
Synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon by which sensory information are associated to a secondary sensory experience, such as music having color. According to the Developmental Learning Hypothesis (Watson et al., 2010; 2014), synesthesia arises from the need to overcome difficulty in acquiring certain types of information, such as grapheme in the ...
