Sensitivity to tonality across the pitch rangeFrank A Russo
Department of Psychology, Ryerson University, 350 Victoria Street, Toronto, ON M5B 2K3, Canada
Perception 36:781-90. 2007..We propose that sensitivity to tonality may be influenced by pitch salience (or a co-varying factor such as exposure to pitch distributional information) as well as suprathreshold inharmonicity...
Tune in or tune out: age-related differences in listening to speech in musicFrank A Russo
Department of Psychology, Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Ear Hear 29:746-60. 2008..To examine age-related differences in listening to speech in music...
The subjective size of melodic intervals over a two-octave rangeFrank A Russo
Department of Psychology, University of Toronto, Mississauga, ON, Canada
Psychon Bull Rev 12:1068-75. 2005..For intervals up to an octave in size, differentiation of intervals was greater for trained listeners than for untrained listeners. We discuss the implications for psychophysical pitch scales and models of music perception...
Urgency is a non-monotonic function of pulse rateFrank A Russo
Department of Psychology, Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada
J Acoust Soc Am 122:EL185-90. 2007..Response times were negatively correlated with urgency ratings. Pitch scaling results indicated that urgency of pulse trains is mediated by the perceptual constructs of speed and pitch...
A new look at retest learning in older adults: learning in the absence of item-specific effectsLixia Yang
Department of Psychology, Ryerson University, 823A Jorgenson Hall, 350 Victoria Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
J Gerontol B Psychol Sci Soc Sci 64:470-3. 2009..The results showed substantial non-item-specific retest learning, even controlling for anxiety, suggesting that retest learning in older adults can occur at a more conceptual level...
Age-related difference in melodic pitch perception is probably mediated by temporal processing: empirical and computational evidenceFrank A Russo
1Department of Psychology, Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada 2Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, Toronto, Ontario, Canada 3Centre for the Neural Basis of Hearing, Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom 4Department of Psychology, University of Toronto at Mississauga, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
Ear Hear 32:177-86. 2012..In addition, if there are age-related deficits in temporal processing in older adults, this group may have reduced performance relative to younger adults even in the most favorable conditions...
An interval size illusion: the influence of timbre on the perceived size of melodic intervalsFrank A Russo
University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Percept Psychophys 67:559-68. 2005..Changes in timbre can expand or contract the perceived size of intervals without distorting individual pitches. We discuss processes underlying interval size perception and their relation to pitch perception mechanisms...
Hearing AIDS and musicMarshall Chasin
Musicians Clinics of Canada, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Trends Amplif 8:35-47. 2004..There are many unanswered questions and hypotheses in this area. Future research by engineers, researchers, clinicians, and musicians will aid in the clarification of these questions and their ultimate solutions...
