在Deutsch(1991)的一项研究中，在加利福尼亚州长大的一组受试者和在英格兰南部长大的一组受试者在对三音调悖论的认知上存在着巨大且非常显著的差异：总的来说，加州组倾向于听到上升的模式，英语组倾向于听到下降的模式，反之亦然。本文件记录了从Deutsch(1991)获得的数据中得出的一些进一步的地理相关性。研究发现，音高等级与感知高度的关系的强度取决于产生音调的频谱包络的整体高度。然而，这种依赖的方向根据受试者群体的不同而显著不同。对于呈现出“加利福尼亚模式”的受试者(即，其总体峰值音调级别在从A#-B到D#-E的范围内顺时针移动)，这种关系对于在较低频谱包络下产生的音调更为明显，因此当这些音调被认为总体高度较低时。相反，对于表现出“英语模式”的受试者(即，他们的总体峰值音高级别在音调级别循环的相反区域)，这种关系对于在较高频谱包络下产生的音调更为明显，因此当这些音调被认为总体较高时。这些发现进一步证明了三音悖论的知觉与语音的加工有关。
In a study by Deutsch (1991), a large and highly significant difference in perception of the tritone paradox was found between a group of subjects who had grown up in California and a group who had grown up in the south of England: In general, where the Californian group tended to hear the pattern as ascending the English group tended to hear it as descending, and vice versa. The present paper documents some further geographical correlates that are derived from the data obtained by Deutsch (1991). The strength of the relationship of pitch class to perceived height was found to depend on the overall heights of the spectral envelopes under which the tones were generated. However, the direction of this dependence differed significantly depending on the subject population. For subjects showing a "Californian pattern" (i. e., whose overall peak pitch classes were in the range moving clockwise from A#–B to D#–E), this relationship was more pronounced for tones generated under lower spectral envelopes, and so when the tones were perceived as lower in overall height. In contrast, for subjects showing an "English pattern" (i. e., whose overall peak pitch classes were in the opposite region of the pitch-class circle), this relationship was more pronounced for tones generated under higher spectral envelopes, and so when the tones were perceived as higher overall instead. Given the literature on the pitch of speech as a function of linguistic community, these findings provide further evidence that perception of the tritone paradox is related to the processing of speech sounds.
