Résumé

Les auditeurs indiquerènt l'ordre temporel de 8 notes dans chaqu'un des 36 mélodies différentes qui représentèrent toutes les combinaisons de quatre gammes (chromatique, majeur, mineur, et augmente) et neuf ordres temporels (de compléxites divers). Le choix de la gamme et de l'ordre influa la précision de la réponse des auditeurs, mesurée par leurs erreurs d'interpretation de l'ordre des notes et du contour de la mélodie, avec le moins de précision dans le cas de la gamme chromatique et l'ordre le plus irrégulier. On explique en partie l'influence de la gamme par sa familiarité et sa facilité de discrimination, et l'influence de l'ordre par sa régularité de structure. Cependant, les influences de la gamme et de l'ordre n'étaient pas indépendantes: certaines combinaisons de gamme et d'ordre produisirent des erreurs qui n'étaient pas d'accord avec les premiers effects. Il reste de déterminer si ces écarts indiquaient une interdépendance entre la gamme et l'ordre.
