Previous research has found that musicians’ pitch judgments, unlike non-musicians’, are influenced by syllable names. Although non-musicians fail to identify absolute pitches, they acknowledge the direction of pitch change. The present experiment investigated whether non-musicians’ judgments of pitch change can be influenced by the direction of syllable name change. Moreover, we examined the spatial, magnitudinal and sequential nature of pitches and syllable names. Participants (N = 33) were asked to hear two successive tones sung by syllable name and to judge the direction of pitch change by pressing vertically arranged buttons. Participants’ accuracy of pitch change judging was found to be influenced by the direction of syllable name change. However, the response location was not found to interact with pitch change or syllable name change. The distance effect was found in pitches but not in syllable names. A sequence effect was found that trials with early-in-sequence syllable names were responded faster than trials with late-in-sequence syllable names. These results suggest that syllable names can influence non-musicians’ pitch judgments in a relative context. We suggest that it is the sequential order of syllable names that is the product of cultural activities that interfere with the judgment of pitch change.

音节名称更改对音高比较的影响

先前的研究发现,与非音乐家不同,音乐家的音调判断受音节名称的影响。尽管非音乐家无法识别绝对音高,但他们承认音高变化的方向。本实验研究了非音乐家对音高变化的判断是否会受到音节名称变化方向的影响。此外,我们研究了音高和音节名称的空间,音标和顺序性质。参加人数= 33)被要求听到两个连续的音调,并按垂直排列的按钮判断音高变化的方向。发现参与者音调变化判断的准确性受音节名称变化方向的影响。但是,未找到响应位置与音高变化或音节名称变化交互。在音高中发现了距离效应,但在音节名称中却没有。发现具有序列效应的结果是,序列较早的音节名称的试验比序列较晚的音节名称的试验反应更快。这些结果表明,音节名称可以在相对范围内影响非音乐家的音调判断。我们建议,音节名称的顺序是文化活动的产物,会干扰音高变化的判断。
