{"pk":33402,"title":"Effects of Tonality, Contour, Pitch Intervals, and Hemisphere on the Representation of Melodic Information","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Tonality, contour, interval, and hemisphere are important predictors of melody recognition. Using forced-choice comparisons, listeners attempted to recognize the contour and interval information for diatonic and nondiatonic melodies presented to the left or right ear. For diatonic melodies, scale was more salient than contour whereas listeners relied on contour in nondiatonic melodies.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Short Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/58r4r336","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Eric","middle_name":"G.","last_name":"Freedman","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Psychology; University of Michigan-Flint","department":""},{"first_name":"Christopher","middle_name":"","last_name":"Abeare","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Psychology; University of Michigan-Flint","department":""},{"first_name":"Robert","middle_name":"G.","last_name":"Kender","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Psychology; University of Michigan-Flint","department":""},{"first_name":"Raymond","middle_name":"","last_name":"Vernagus","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Psychology; University of Michigan-Flint","department":""},{"first_name":"Thomas","middle_name":"A.","last_name":"Wrobel","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Psychology; University of Michigan-Flint","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1998-01-01T23:30:00+05:30","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/33402/galley/24461/download/"}]}
