大多数人认为，承载时间的能力在普通人群中分布不均。为了检验这一说法，我们要求临时歌手 (n=62) 在实验室和自然环境中演唱一首著名歌曲（实验 1）。歌唱表演由同行评判熟练程度，使用基于声学的方法分析音调和时间准确性，并与专业演唱进行比较。对偶尔歌手的熟练程度的同行评价呈正态分布。只有少数歌手偶尔会犯很多音高错误。歌唱水平的差异很大程度上是由于节奏的差异造成的。与专业歌手相比，临时歌手往往会以更快的节奏唱歌，音高和时间错误也更多。在实验 2 中，来自实验 1 的 15 名非音乐家以慢节奏唱了同一首歌。在这种情况下，大多数临时歌手的演唱都和职业歌手一样准确。因此，唱歌似乎是人类的普遍特征。然而，有两位偶尔出现的歌手在较慢的节奏下仍保持较高的音调错误率。这种糟糕的表现并不是由于音高感知受损造成的，因此表明存在纯声音形式的音聋。 (c) 2007 年美国声学学会。
Most believe that the ability to carry a time is unevenly distributed in the general population. To test this claim, we asked occasional singers (n=62) to sing a well-known song in both the laboratory and in a natural setting (experiment 1). Sung performances were judged by peers for proficiency, analyzed for pitch and time accuracy with an acoustic-based method, and compared to professional singing. The peer ratings for the proficiency of occasional singers were normally distributed. Only a minority of the occasional singers made numerous pitch errors. The variance in singing proficiency was largely due to tempo differences. Occasional singers tended to sing at a faster tempo and with more pitch and time errors relative to professional singers. In experiment 2 15 nonmusicians from experiment 1 sang the same song at a slow tempo. In this condition, most of the occasional singers sang as accurately as the professional singers. Thus, singing appears to be a universal human trait. However, two of the occasional singers maintained a high rate of pitch errors at the slower tempo. This poor performance was not due to impaired pitch perception, thus suggesting the existence of a purely vocal form of tone deafness. (c) 2007 Acoustical Society of America.
