    Nonmusicians processing melodies showed right-ear advantage (REA) for same-pitch comparisons and left-ear advantage for transposed melodies. This suggests pitch processing influences cerebral hemisphere dominance.

    Area of Science:

    • Auditory perception
    • Neuroscience
    • Music cognition

    Background:

    • The human brain exhibits hemispheric lateralization for processing auditory information.
    • Melody perception involves analyzing pitch and temporal sequences, potentially engaging different cognitive strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate how pitch variations in melodies affect auditory processing and hemispheric lateralization in nonmusicians.
    • To determine if melody transposition influences ear advantage and cognitive processing modes.

    Main Methods:

    • Nonmusicians classified same-pitch and transposed melody pairs as identical or distinct.
    • Response times were recorded to infer cognitive processing strategies.
    • Analysis focused on ear advantage (right-ear advantage/left-ear advantage) and reaction times.

    Main Results:

    • A right-ear advantage (REA) was observed when comparing melodies at the same pitch level.
    • A left-ear advantage emerged when melodies were transposed to different pitch levels.
    • Response times indicated an analytic search strategy for same-pitch melodies, distinct from transposed melodies.

    Conclusions:

    • Melody transposition shifts auditory processing towards right-hemisphere dominance.
    • The processing of local (same-pitch) versus global (transposed) melodic features influences cerebral hemisphere engagement.
    • Hemispheric specialization in melody processing is modulated by pitch relationships and cognitive strategies.
