Abstract
The traditional dichotomy between speech and non-speech sounds was questioned. The fate of musical stimuli was explored in three illusion-producing paradigms: ‘transformation’ of veridical perception under conditions of invariant stimulus input, ‘migration’ of extraneous sounds revealing cognitive re-structuring of the linear input, and ‘restoration’ of absent sounds. These effects, arising from the low correspondence between physical input and conscious representation characteristic of speech perception, are considered to be speech-specific. Experiment 1 revealed musical sounds to be as susceptible to perceptual transformations as speech. Experiment 2 demonstrated cognitively imposed structuring in music evidenced by migration of extraneous sounds. Experiments 3 and 4 provided evidence of perceptual restoration of missing fragments of music. These parallels between music and speech in terms of deviation of the psychological representation from the underlying signal suggest that listening to music is far ...
