通过优先配对的反应位置，音高，在这里，我们表明，音高高度的内部表示是空间的性质，并影响性能，特别是在音乐训练的参与者，当响应的替代品是垂直或水平对齐。我们的认知系统将音高高度映射到空间的内部表征上，即使这种感知属性与任务无关，这反过来也会影响运动表现，这一发现扩展了以前对听觉感知的研究，并提出了音乐感知和数学认知之间的有趣类比。数学认知的基本元素（即数字）和音乐认知的基本元素（即音高）似乎都以影响运动表现的方式映射到心理空间表征上。(c)2005 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
Through the preferential pairing of response positions to pitch, here we show that the internal representation of pitch height is spatial in nature and affects performance, especially in musically trained participants, when response alternatives are either vertically or horizontally aligned. The finding that our cognitive system maps pitch height onto an internal representation of space, which in turn affects motor performance even when this perceptual attribute is irrelevant to the task, extends previous studies on auditory perception and suggests an interesting analogy between music perception and mathematical cognition. Both the basic elements of mathematical cognition (i.e. numbers) and the basic elements of musical cognition (i.e. pitches), appear to be mapped onto a mental spatial representation in a way that affects motor performance.
