In the musical domain, however, melodies composed in culturally familiar tuning systems (e.g., Western tonal music) do not show cumulative decrements in recognition performance as time elapses (Schellenberg & Habashi, 2015), nor systematic and cumulative decrements as the number of intervening items increases (Herff, Olsen, & Dean, submitted; Herff, Olsen, Dean, & Prince, submitted). Interestingly, interference effects that are due to the number of intervening items are observed if melodies are sounded in unfamiliar tuning systems (Herff, Olsen, Dean, & Prince, submitted).…”
