    Subjects map temporal sequences onto an interval structure, with errors revealing limitations. A beat-based model proposes segmentation into equal beat intervals, with subdivisions limited to equal or 1:2 ratios, explaining pattern conceptualization limits.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Auditory Perception
    • Music Cognition

    Background:

    • Temporal pattern imitation reveals underlying perceptual structures.
    • Listeners often make systematic errors when reproducing time-based sequences.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Investigate how humans perceive and imitate periodically repeating temporal patterns.
    • Propose and evaluate a beat-based model for auditory temporal sequence perception.

    Main Methods:

    • Subjects (musically trained and untrained) imitated temporal patterns with varying interval ratios.
    • Analyzed imitation errors and systematic changes over repetitions.

    Main Results:

    • Imitation errors indicate a mapping onto an interval structure.

  • A beat-based model successfully explains reproduction limitations.
  • The model accommodates beat intervals subdivided into equal or 1:2 ratios.

    • Conclusions:

    • Human perception of temporal sequences is constrained by a hierarchical, beat-based interval structure.
    • The proposed model accounts for the limited number of temporal patterns accurately conceptualized.
