Stimulus-dependent flexibility in non-human auditory pitch processing
Stimulus-dependent flexibility in non-human auditory pitch processing is a scholarly work by Aniruddh D. Patel and Timothy Q. Gentner, published in 2011 in ''Cognition''. The main subjects of the publication include melody, evolutionary ecology, natural sound, acoustics, pitch contour, auditory cortex, speech recognition, stimulus, acoustic stimulation, relative pitch, hearing range, pitch, communication, perception, psychology, perfect pitch, hearing, and bird vocalization. The authors observed accurate recognition even for songs pitch-shifted well outside the range of frequencies used during training, and even though much smaller pitch shifts in conspecific songs are easily detected.
