“…Many experiments have studied perception of post-tonal chords in ways that enhance surface-level characteristics and enable perceptually-driven estimations (Bruner, 1984;Gibson, 1993;Kuusi, 2001Kuusi, , 2005aSamplaski, 2000). The abstract-level similarity of post-tonal chords has thus far been studied only in a few experiments (Kuusi, 2005b(Kuusi, , 2007(Kuusi, , 2010, and all of them have compared chords representing different set-classes. Abstract-level discrimination between chords representing the same set-class has been a neglected area of study.…”
