Document Summary
Illusion sounds like in the right ear, you hear scale going down and then back up. In left ear, hear scale going up and then down first note occurs in the right ear. easier to hear them as separate melodies when in same tonality then in different tonality. Inversion was best, retrograde was next, retrograde-inversion was even weaker: exact transposition of that melody-> wont have exact same intervals but have same pattern of ups and downs. often confuse this with as same melody. If you look at c, c has same contour as a and b: but has different size intervals. seems that what listeners are remembering general pattern of ups and downs. If increase delay, the importance of contour decays memory comparisons. If long delay, using long term information and use other information to help us make our comparison y dowling has found that tonality and other factors begin to play more of a y.
