  2. Tone (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tone_(linguistics)

    Tone is the use of pitch in language to distinguish lexical or grammatical meaning—that is, to distinguish or to inflect words. [1] All oral languages use pitch to express emotional and other para-linguistic information and to convey emphasis, contrast and other such features in what is called intonation, but not all languages use tones to distinguish words or their inflections, analogously ...

    The second phase used the test to run and evaluate in a computer simulation analysis. [10] Lastly, in the third phase the test was field-tested on the PLATO computer system, and showed that it required an average tonal memory test scores of 6.05, 8.55, and 11.60 items to reach reliabilities of .80, .85, and .90 (4).

    Examples of sinusoidally amplitude- and frequency-modulated signals. The neural representation of stimulus envelope, ENV n, has typically been studied using well-controlled ENV p modulations, that is sinusoidally amplitude-modulated (AM) sounds. Cochlear filtering limits the range of AM rates encoded in individual auditory-nerve fibers. In the ...

    It is also used in various kinds of audiometry, including pure tone audiometry, and the standard hearing test to test each ear unilaterally and to test speech recognition in the presence of partially masking noise. Auditory masking is exploited to perform data compression for sound signals .

  7. Auditory learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_learning

    For example, when memorizing a phone number, an auditory learner might say it out loud and then remember how it sounded to recall it. Auditory learners may solve problems by talking them through. Speech patterns include phrases such as "I hear you; That clicks; It's ringing a bell", and other sound or voice-oriented information.

  8. Combination tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination_tone

    A resultant tone is "produced when any two loud and sustained musical sounds are heard at the same time." [ 6 ] In pipe organs , [ 7 ] this is done by having two pipes, one pipe of the note being played, and another harmonically related, typically at its fifth , being sounded at the same time.

  9. Tritone paradox - Wikipedia

    For example, one listener would hear the tone pair C–F ♯ as ascending and the tone pair G–C ♯ as descending. Yet another listener would hear the tone pair C–F ♯ as descending and the tone pair G–C ♯ as ascending. Furthermore, the way these tone pairs were perceived varied depending on the listener's language or dialect.
