In this commentary, I discuss the results and implications of "How stable is pitch labeling accuracy in absolute pitch possessors?" by Gruhn, Ristmagi, Schneider, D'Souza, and Kiilu (2018). Their work provides some new insights on the accuracy of single tone labeling by absolute pitch (AP) possessors as a function of the spectral content of the presented tones. Previous findings on the effects of the familiarity of timbre and pitch chroma and early training in music are replicated and confirmed, indicating a role of learning and exposure in AP development. Prospects for future research are discussed, including the necessity of a validated psychometric instrument for measuring AP ability, and the need for longitudinal developmental research to more precisely isolate the factors that contribute to AP acquisition.

对Gruhn等人的文章“绝对音调拥有者中音高标记精度有多稳定？”的评论。

在这篇评论中，我讨论了“绝对音高拥有者的音高标记精度有多稳定？”的结果和启示。Gruhn，Ristmagi，Schneider，D'Souza和Kiilu（2018）。他们的工作为绝对音高（AP）拥有者对单音标签的准确度提供了一些新的见解，这些准确性是所呈现音调频谱含量的函数。以前关于音色和音高色度的熟悉程度以及音乐中的早期训练的影响的发现已被复制和证实，表明学习和接触在AP发育中的作用。讨论了未来研究的前景，包括使用经过验证的心理测量仪来测量AP能力的必要性，以及进行纵向发展研究以更精确地分离出有助于AP获得的因素的需求。
