Abstract:Listeners were presented with 300-ms ‘‘chords’’ of five synchronous pure tones, followed after a 0.5–8-s silence by a single pure tone. The frequencies of each chord’s components were selected randomly, but spaced by intervals of between 6 and 10 semitones. In one condition (‘‘up/down’’), the single tone following a chord was 1 semitone higher or lower than one of the chord’s three intermediate components; on each trial, the corresponding component was selected randomly and the task was to indicate the directi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
