Abstract

Tonality and meter are uniquely suited to investigate issues of internal representations of stimulus structure. Whether these dimensions are independent or interactive is important for applying this research to general cognition, and consists of two questions. First, while attending to one dimension, can listeners ignore irrelevant variation in other dimension? Second, does the structural organization of one dimension (e.g., tonailty) affect that of the other (e.g., meter)?
