Talk:Levitin effect

Untitled[edit]

IMO this article needs to disappear. Levitin didn't discover this. Tonal memory was known by Northwestern University Music School professors at least 40 years ago and looking in Wikipedia, there are studies that go back 120 years.

Move it into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonal_memory or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music-related_memory Assuming that there is anything left of this page after the false claim of it being the first study of this phenomena makes it not very noteworthy.

I disagree. Alter the article to point out those things, maybe add some mention of the levitin effect to those articles including a link to this one.

Whether or not Levitin discovered this, many people know this effect as "the levitin effect". Miamonteverdi (talk) 01:15, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relative pitch not based on any musical training or exposure [citation needed]???[edit]

Can there even be a good citation on that claim? Considering it's utterly false? Unless I'm misunderstanding the intended meaning. It literally even goes on to mention that many find it valuable to study and practice to improve their relative pitch, which is true. I was a music tutor at a college's music department and helped students with ear training. Almost all of the students who started out not being able to match pitch and identify intervals correctly showed vast improvement if they came to the tutoring sessions and/or worked hard at it on their own.
