The Tritone Paradox and the Simon Effect Summary

The tritone paradox is a phenomenon of auditory perception in which individuals perceive octave-ambiguous tritone intervals differently from other individuals. Although they are by definition ambiguous, it is unclear whether perception of these tritones can be manipulated. The purpose of this study was to determine if the perception of ambiguous tone pairs (tritones) is susceptible to priming, similar to ambiguous images. Participants listened to a series of tritone pairs and non-tritone pairs in the context of a Simon task and judged if the tones were ascending or descending. The results demonstrated that under some circumstances, perception of tritones can be primed. This supports a model of pitch perception that includes influence of external cues. Future research should focus on the difference between perceived and actual direction of primes, the possibility that some non-tritone intervals may also be ambiguous, and the importance of including participants from a wide range of linguistic and geographical backgrounds.

What is audiobook and how does it work?
Audiobooks are voice recordings of the text of a book that you listen to rather than read. Audiobooks can be exact word-for-word versions of books or abridged versions. You can listen to audiobooks on any smartphone, tablet, computer, home speaker system, or in-car entertainment system.

An electronic book, also known as an e-book or eBook, is a book publication made available in digital form, consisting of text, images, or both, readable on the flat-panel display of computers or other electronic devices. Although sometimes defined as "an electronic version of a printed book",some e-books exist without a printed equivalent.
E-books can be read on dedicated e-reader devices, but also on any computer device that features a controllable viewing screen, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones.
