Semitone
Definition:
(n.) Half a tone; -- the name commonly applied to the smaller intervals of the diatonic scale.
Example Sentences:
(1) In Experiment 1, children from 4 to 6 years of age were superior in detecting the semitone change in the diatonic context compared with the nondiatonic context.
(2) Model recognition performance shows a rapid improvement in correct vowel identification as the difference between the fundamental frequencies of two simultaneous vowels increases from zero to one semitone in a manner closely resembling human performance.
(3) The 6-month-olds' better performance on the major and augmented interval patterns than on the pelog interval pattern is potentially attributable to either the 6-month-olds' lesser perceptual acculturation than that of the 1-year-olds or perhaps to an innate predisposition for processing of music based on a single fundamental interval, in this case the semitone.
(4) A significant sex effect, not observed in a prior related study, was eliminated by conversion of the Fo data to semitones.
