“…A number of studies have shown that frequency-based judgments were improved for temporally expected events (e.g., Boltz, 1998; Dowling, Bartlett, Halpern & Andrews, 2008; Dowling, Lung & Herrbold, 1987; Jones, Johnston, & Puente, 2006; Jones, Moynihan, MacKenzie & Puente, 2002; Kidd, Boltz & Jones, 1984; Schmuckler & Boltz, 1994; Tillmann & Lebrun-Guillaud, 2006). For example, Dowling et al (1987, Exp.…”

Priming is a useful tool for ascertaining the circumstances under which previous experiences influence behavior. Previously, using hierarchical stimuli, we demonstrated (Justus & List, 2005) that selectively attending to one temporal scale of an auditory stimulus improved subsequent attention to a repeated (vs. changed) temporal scale; that is, we demonstrated intertrial auditory temporal level priming. Here, we have extended those results to address whether level priming relied on absolute or relative temporal information. Both relative and absolute temporal information are important in auditory perception: Speech and music can be recognized over various temporal scales but become uninterpretable to a listener when presented too quickly or slowly. We first confirmed that temporal level priming generalized over new temporal scales. Second, in the context of multiple temporal scales, we found that temporal level priming operates predominantly on the basis of relative, rather than absolute, temporal information. These findings are discussed in the context of expectancies and relational invariance in audition.

“…People maintain a large corpus of familiar tunes in their semantic memory. The representations are accurate in that someone can typically say if there is a wrong note in a familiar tune (Dowling, Bartlett, Halpern, & Andrews, 2008) and memory for tunes seems to last over one's lifetime (Bartlett & Snelus, 1981). On the other hand, encoding of new music is quite difficult (Halpern & Bartlett, 2010).…”

“…Note that the presentation pace differed between the verbal and the musical tasks. By displaying musical stimuli at a faster pace, we aimed at ensuring that the sequence of the musical task were perceived as melodies and not as successions of isolated tones (for experiments using similar presentation rate, see, e.g., Dowling, 1991;Dowling, Bartlett, Halpern, & Andrews, 2008).…”
