“…." have been made by Kwalwasser (110), Metfessel (129), Schoen (188), and Wagner (244), the general outcomes being that vibrato is a legitimate element in artistic singing, that the ideal of vocal control is by no means a mechanical uniformity, that vocal training often operates to increase the amplitude and regularity of the vibrato, and that it is to some extent susceptible of direct training and voluntary control. Knock (94) and Seashore and Jenner (204) investigate the effects of visual training on vocal control, using the tonoscope.…”

“…He does not believe that the discrepancy is due to the presence of overtones but to the rate at which the phonograph record was run and the tendency of the tonoscope to respond to multiples of the original rate. Wagner (79) has published a thesis that shows how well the vocal vibrato may be controlled and developed through ingenious breathing devices used with a wide range of observers. Through the use of models from artists' tones he was able to cultivate the vibrato where none before existed and to refine the control of the rate of vibrato through the influence of rhythm, and the extent of vibrato through rhythm and controlled respiration.…”

A considerable amount of interest still appears to be shown in the experimental work carried on among psychologists and their kinsmen in the neighboring fields of physiology, pathology, physics and electrical engineering. So strong is this interest and so productive are the experimental researches that the reviewer is sure of the increased returns which would accrue if some central organization for the exchange of facts and theories were to be set up. This has been accomplished in some measure by the organization of the Acoustical Society of America, but so far its membership is not yet representative of the widest interests in this field. The first issue of its quarterly Journal has made a very real contribution, however, and much good will follow. Within the space limits necessarily assigned to this article it is impossible to do anything more than to sketch in the picture of productivity which is going on in this country and abroad. Many of the papers are presented in such generally inaccessible journals that they were unknown even to the reviewer until he set about the task of summarizing the important acoustic events of the last two years since the preceding summary was published (60).Theory of Audition. The tendency now seems to swing somewhat away from a modified Young-Helmholtzian theory of analysis by sympathetic resonance and to emphasize for the moment some form of central function, not that practically all of the facts of analysis are relegated to the cerebrum, but that some form of synthesis can only be ascribed to those centers where such organization is neurologically possible. The increasing significance of Gestalt in psychology and the neurological correlate of the engram or equivalent form of configuration seems to be a more suitable explanation of our outstanding ability to detect simple tones in a very complex clang. This form of explanation comes from several different directions. We have, for example, the outstanding work of Trimble (73) in the field of sound localization together with his contributions to auditory theory (72). He has raised the question 271 272 CHRISTIAN A.
