Peer reviewedWhellams, Frederick S. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 1973
By means of a multiple discrimination function analysis it is possible to reject the hypothesis that musicality, as measured by the tests in Wing's battery, is entirely influenced by hereditary factors. (Author)

Field Dependence/Independence in College Nonmusic Majors and Their Ability to Discern Form in Music.
Peer reviewedEllis, Mark C.; McCoy, Clair W. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 1990
Measures the effects of cognitive-style field dependence/field independence on students' ability to discern form in music. Applies tests to 119 nonmusic majors enrolled in an introductory music course. Finds field-independent subjects scored significantly higher than field-dependent subjects. Identifies variables affecting learning for both…

Peer reviewedEllis, Mark C. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 1995
Investigates the effects of field dependence-independence, gender, previous musical experience, and general music ability on music listening. College students recorded their observations about music excerpts. Weeks later they used these observations to identify the excerpts. Multiple regression analyses examined the contributions of subject…

Peer reviewedDemorest, Steven M.; Serlin, Ronald C. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 1997
Revises an earlier experiment that revealed age-related increases in sensitivity to rhythmic information when judging the difference between a theme and selected pitch and rhythm variations. Tested the possibility that the developmental differences found earlier were due to characteristics of the test melody. Results supported the earlier study.…

Peer reviewedByo, James L. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 1997
Examines graduate and undergraduate music majors' ability to detect pitch and rhythm errors in various settings of textually contrasting musical excerpts. Students listened to intentionally marred excerpts and attempted to identify the errors. Analysis of variance revealed that the predictor variables did not function independently of each other.…

Peer reviewedMadsen, Clifford K. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 1997
Presents the results of a study where musicians listened to 20 minutes of Puccini's, "La Boheme," and indicated which of the five musical elements (melody, rhythm, timbre, dynamics, or everything) commanded their attention. Two groups responded using differing instructions for the Continuous Response Digital Interface. Analyzes the different…
