Children's Perception of Melodies: The Role of Contour, Freqency, and Rate of Presentation.
Morrongiello, Barbara A.; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v40 n2 p279-92 Oct 1985
Among children four to six years of age who were tested for their detection of melodic transformations, performance was superior for transformations that changed contour, for greater changes in contour, and for faster presentation rates. Melodies transformed by reordering tones were as discriminable as those transformed by inserting novel frequencies. (Author/RH)
