音乐绝对音高行为研究述评.

Musical absolute pitch(AP) is the rare ability to instantaneously recognize, name, memorize and categorize tones without using a reference pitch for comparison. There are two main categories of tests for differentiating absolute pitch and non-absolute pitch: naming note method and non-naming note method. The influences of gene, musical training during early childhood and language environment were discussed in the present review. Characteristics of music processing, music memory and spatial ability in persons with musical absolute pitch were also described. Finally, four possible directions for future research in musical absolute pitch were suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
