Pitch is often described as having two perceptual §correlates; pitch height, which increases with §frequency, and tone chroma, which recurs at octave §intervals. The perception of pitch by normal hearing §adults, although widely studied, is not clearly §understood. Infants' perception of pitch is even §less well-understood. That is, not only is the §previous literature with adults not consistent about §the perceptual reality of tone chroma, but there are §only a few studies studying infants' perception of §pitch. This collection of studies attempts to §understand and explain some of the factors that §might affect pitch perception in infants and §musically untrained adults. In this work, the author §provides a thorough review of the pitch and tone §chroma literature. Then, based on gaps and §questions in the literature, explores some of §the "contextual" issues that affect the perception §of tone chroma by infants and musically untrained §adults.
