Stroop任务多年来一直被用于研究选择性注意的自动性或失败。这种影响是不对称的，单词会影响颜色命名，反之则不会。本研究设计了两个类似stroop的听觉-视觉任务，以研究绝对音高（AP）拥有者和没有音乐训练的控制组（nAP）的音高加工的自动性。在音调命名任务中，参与者被要求在忽略视觉音符名称的同时命名听觉音调。在笔记命名任务中，参与者被要求在忽略听觉音调的情况下阅读笔记名称。nAP组仅在音调命名任务中表现出显著的一致性效应，而AP组则相反，仅在笔记阅读任务中表现出显著的一致性效应。因此，当被要求阅读笔记时，AP持有者无法忽略听觉音调，但当被要求标记听觉音调时，AP持有者不受口头笔记名称的影响。结果表明，具有AP能力的被试对音高的识别是自动的，不可能被抑制。
The Stroop task has been employed to study automaticity or failures of selective attention for many years. The effect is known to be asymmetrical, with words affecting color naming but not vice versa. In the current work two auditory-visual Stroop-like tasks were devised in order to study the automaticity of pitch processing in both absolute pitch (AP) possessors and musically trained controls without AP (nAP). In the tone naming task, participants were asked to name the auditory tone while ignoring a visual note name. In the note naming task, participants were asked to read a note name while ignoring the auditory tone. The nAP group showed a significant congruency effect only in the tone naming task, whereas AP possessors showed the reverse pattern, with a significant congruency effect only in the note reading task. Thus, AP possessors were unable to ignore the auditory tone when asked to read the note, but were unaffected by the verbal note name when asked to label the auditory tone. The results suggest that pitch identification in participants endowed with AP ability is automatic and impossible to suppress.
