That's a different exercise though... wrong direction. Absolute pitch recognition is hearing -> pitch. What you describe is memory -> performance -> comparison

- appleorchard46 2y agoI'm not sure what you mean. > Absolute pitch (AP), often called perfect pitch, is the ability to identify or re-create a given musical note without the benefit of a reference tone. [Wikipedia] This is what I'm describing: knowing a song well enough that you can 'hear' it in your head, and use that to accurately identify and re-create a note from it. This is a few more steps than being able to simply 'know' a note upon hearing it but nonetheless can demonstrate the capacity to do so for those who haven't specifically practiced it.
- Aurornis 2y agoThis study is specifically about the ability to identify heard tones. It's literally the first line of the abstract: > Absolute pitch (AP) refers to the ability to identify the pitch of a tone without external references.
