Ilusiones auditivas que demuestran que los tonos son asimilados a una escala musical internalizada
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|December 14, 1984
Resumen
Los oyentes occidentales perciben los tonos musicales basados en la escala diatónica mayor familiar, incluso cuando intentan juicios físicos objetivos. Esto demuestra la influencia arraigada de las escalas musicales en la percepción auditiva.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Música Psicología Psicología.
- La percepción auditiva es la percepción auditiva.
- La psicoacústica es la psicoacústica.
Sus antecedentes:
- La percepción de los intervalos musicales está influenciada por la exposición cultural a escalas musicales específicas.
- Comprender cómo los oyentes interpretan las propiedades acústicas del sonido es crucial en la psicología de la música.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar si los oyentes occidentales perciben escalas musicales distorsionadas en relación con la escala diatónica mayor estándar.
- Para determinar si los oyentes pueden juzgar objetivamente las relaciones físicas entre los tonos independientemente de las estructuras musicales aprendidas.
Principales métodos:
- Los participantes escucharon secuencias de tonos derivados de la escala diatónica mayor con intervalos sistemáticamente alterados (igualizados o estirados).
- Se pidió a los oyentes que juzgaran las relaciones físicas entre los tonos dentro de estas secuencias.
- Se analizaron los juicios de los oyentes para identificar la dependencia de la estructura de la escala diatónica subyacente.
Principales resultados:
- Los oyentes interpretaron consistentemente los tonos en relación con la familiar escala diatónica mayor.
- Incluso cuando se instruyó a centrarse en las propiedades físicas, las relaciones percibidas fueron sesgadas por la escala aprendida.
- Se percibieron desviaciones de la escala diatónica en relación con la estructura de escala esperada.
Conclusiones:
- La percepción auditiva de los intervalos musicales de los oyentes occidentales está fuertemente anclada a la escala diatónica mayor.
- Los marcos musicales aprendidos influyen significativamente en la interpretación de los estímulos acústicos, anulando los intentos de un juicio físico puramente objetivo.
- Esto pone de relieve el papel penetrante de los esquemas musicales en la configuración de la experiencia auditiva.

01:21Perceiving Loudness, Pitch, and Location
The human brain perceives pitch through two primary mechanisms reflected in place theory and frequency theory. Each mechanism describes how sound waves are interpreted as specific pitches by the brain, offering insights into the intricate processes of auditory perception.
Place theory, or place coding, suggests that different pitches are heard because various sound waves activate specific locations along the cochlea's basilar membrane. The brain determines the pitch of a sound by identifying...

00:53Sound Intensity Level
Humans perceive sound by hearing. The human ear helps sound waves reach the brain, which then interprets the waves and creates the perception of hearing. The loudness of the environment in which a person is located determines whether they can distinguish between different sound sources.
The human ear can perceive an extensive range of sound intensity, necessitating the use of the logarithmic scale to define a physical quantity—the intensity level. It is a ratio of two intensities and hence a...

01:17Auditory Perception
The auditory system is essential for sound perception, utilizing various critical structures. When sound waves enter the outer ear, they travel through the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are then transmitted to the middle ear, where three tiny bones – the malleus, incus, and stapes – amplify the sound. This amplification is crucial, as it ensures that the sound vibrations are strong enough to be conveyed to the inner ear. These vibrations then reach the cochlea, a...
01:13The Cochlea
The cochlea is a coiled structure in the inner ear that contains hair cells—the sensory receptors of the auditory system. Sound waves are transmitted to the cochlea by small bones attached to the eardrum called the ossicles, which vibrate the oval window that leads to the inner ear. This causes fluid in the chambers of the cochlea to move, vibrating the basilar membrane.
01:31Hearing
When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.
01:01Perception of Sound Waves
The human ear is not equally sensitive to all frequencies in the audible range. It may perceive sound waves with the same pressure but different frequencies as having different loudness. Moreover, the perception of sound waves depends on the health of an individual's ears, which decays with age. The health of one's ears may also be affected by regular exposure to loud noises.
The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency and the pressure amplitude of the source. Two sounds of the same frequency...
