在最近的一篇自然论文中，MCDERMOTT等人（2016）得出结论，协和的感知来自对西方和声音乐惯例的熟悉，并且相对不受听觉神经生物学的限制。我们反驳这一观点，引用跨文化，发展和比较的证据相反，并提出关注麦克德莫特等人。的方法论。我们的结论是，虽然熟悉起着重要的作用，在塑造音调的偏好，它不能投在反对明确的生物学约束。生物学和文化（先天和后天）相互作用，塑造了我们对音乐的体验，忽视前者的理论是危险的。
IN A RECENT NATURE PAPER, MCDERMOTT ET AL. (2016) conclude that the perception of consonance arises from familiarity with the conventions of Western harmonic music and is relatively unconstrained by auditory neurobiology. We refute this idea, citing cross-cultural, developmental and comparative evidence to the contrary, and raising concerns over McDermott et al.'s methodology. We conclude that although familiarity plays an important role in shaping tonal preferences, it must not be cast in opposition to clear biological constraints. Biology and culture (nature and nurture) interact to shape how we experience music, and theories that neglect the former do so at their peril.
