“In Tune” What effect does gender have on the ability to identify the difference of pitch between two tones?
2004
Abstract This experiment tested the effect gender had on the ability to identify the difference of pitch between two tones. First, background information concerning pitch was found, and then the experimental and control groups (based on students' musical experience) were gathered. During the experiment, a tape was played in which several starting tones were followed by a second tone that was higher, lower or the same as the previous tone. Students were asked to identify the relationship between the first and second tone. The resulting data indicate that males correctly identified the difference of pitch between two tones five percent more often than females.
