这项研究的目的是检验音高高度和音高变化是否在心理上沿着空间轴表征。一系列实验探索了对于孤立音调和 2 音符音程，类似于响应代码的空间数字关联 (SNARC) 效应的效果的发生。参与者的响应设备方向（水平与垂直）、任务和音乐专业知识都受到操纵。孤立音调的音调触发了独立于音乐专业知识的垂直轴的自动激活，但旋律音程的轮廓却没有。相比之下，与水平轴的自动关联似乎与音高和音程的音乐训练有关。根据数字表示研究讨论的这些结果提供了音乐专业知识对音乐认知影响的新例子。
This study was aimed at examining whether pitch height and pitch change are mentally represented along spatial axes. A series of experiments explored, for isolated tones and 2-note intervals, the occurrence of effects analogous to the spatial numerical association of response codes (SNARC) effect. Response device orientation (horizontal vs. vertical), task, and musical expertise of the participants were manipulated. The pitch of isolated tones triggered the automatic activation of a vertical axis independently of musical expertise, but the contour of melodic intervals did not. By contrast, automatic associations with the horizontal axis seemed linked to music training for pitch and, to a lower extent, for intervals. These results, discussed in the light of studies on number representation, provide a new example of the effects of musical expertise on music cognition.
