Absolute pitch and tone language - Two new studies
Päivämäärä
2009Two new studies provide evidence in favor of the hypothesis that absolute pitch is strongly influenced by a speech-related critical period. The first study examined the prevalence of absolute pitch among students in at the University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music, as a function of age of onset of musical training, ethnicity, fluency in speaking a tone language, and country of early music education. Among those of East Asian ethnicity, performance on a test of absolute pitch was strongly correlated with fluency in speaking a tone language. The advantage of early onset of musical training did not interact statistically with the effects of tone language fluency, and further analyses showed that the results could not be explained by country of early music education. The second study investigated the pitch ranges of female speech in two relatively isolated villages in China. These pitch ranges clustered within each village, but differed significantly across the villages, indicating that, at least for speakers of tone language, the pitch range of speech is heavily influenced by an absolute pitch template that is developed through long term exposure to speech in the environment. Implications of these findings are discussed.

Do absolute pitch possessors have a field independent cognitive style?
Schlemmer, Kathrin B. (2009)The factors contributing to the development of absolute pitch (AP) are still not fully understood. It seems to be neither completely inherited nor completely teachable. This study tested the hypothesis, that individual ... -
Absolute of Relative? A New Approach to Building Feature Vectors For Emotion Tracking In Music
Imbrasaitė, Vaiva; Robinson, Peter (University of Jyväskylä, Department of Music, 2013)It is believed that violation of or conformity to expectancy when listening to music is one of the main sources of musical emotion. To address this, we test a new way of building feature vectors and representing features ... -

High-Precision Q-Value Measurement Confirms the Potential of 135Cs for Absolute Antineutrino Mass Scale Determination
de Roubin, A.; Kostensalo, J.; Eronen, T.; Canete, L.; de Groote, R. P.; Jokinen, A.; Kankainen, A.; Nesterenko, D. A.; Moore, I. D.; Rinta-Antila, S.; Suhonen, J.; Vilén, M (American Physical Society, 2020)The ground-state-to-ground-state β-decay Q value of 135Cs(7/2+)→135Ba(3/2+) has been directly measured for the first time. The measurement was done utilizing both the phase-imaging ion-cyclotron resonance technique and the ...
