Massaro, Dominic W.; And Others
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, v6 n1 p77-90 Jan 1980
Relationships among tone height, melodic contour, tone chroma, and recognition of recently learned melodies were investigated. Results replicated previous studies using familiar folk songs, providing evidence that melodic contour, tone chroma, and tone height contribute to recognition of both highly familiar and recently learned melodies.
