Melodic Organization Three facts about melody Melody is ubiquitous Melody is robust Can rank melodies on various psychological dimensions

Melodic Grouping and Gestalt Principles of Organization Can divide organizational processes into two groups How are independent elements combined to form separate groupings? How are higher order abstractions derived from such groupings?

Melodic Grouping and Gestalt Principles of Organization Can divide organizational processes into two groups How are independent elements combined to form separate groupings? How are higher order abstractions derived from such groupings?

Grouping of Sequences of Single Tones What are the aspects that drive groupings of single tones? Grouping by pitch proximity Pseudopolophony

Grouping by Pitch Proximity Temporal coherence and the fission boundary 60 ms, 1 semitone:90 ms, 1 semitone: 90 ms, 5 semitone:90 ms, 12 semitones: 150 ms, 12 semi:150 ms, 17, semi: Temporal Coherence Boundary Fission Boundary
