当呈现一对有序的音调时，就会出现三音悖论，每个音调由一组与八度相关的成分组成，并且音调的音高等级被半个八度隔开。这样的模式在一个音调中被听到为上升，但在不同的音调中被听到为下降。此外，任何一个音调的模式在一些听众听来是上升的，而在另一些人听起来是下降的。在这里发现，这种现象在普通人群中发生的程度非常显著，并且在人群中以有序的方式分布。研究结果还显示，在普通人群中，利用绝对音高的能力令人惊讶。
The tritone paradox occurs when an ordered pair of tones is presented, with each tone consisting of a set of octave-related components, and the pitch classes of the tones separated by a half-octave. Such a pattern is heard as ascending in one key, but as descending in a different key. Further, the pattern in any one key is heard as ascending by some listeners but as descending by others. It was here found that this phenomenon occurs to a highly significant extent in a general population, and that it is distributed within the population in an orderly fashion. The findings also reveal a surprising ability within the general population to utilize absolute pitch.
