Chapter 2. The perception of temporal patterns Part 2: Factors of complexity Experiment 2 Experiment 3 General discussion Summary SamenvattingSimon and Sumner (1968) discuss the representation of musical patterns, in particular, the representation of the melodic, harmonic, and temporal dimensions.Combinations of intervals form an alphabet that can be used to organize the sequence.Regularities are represented as rules.For instance, consider the sequence with relative intervals 1141141111111141142 4. (The sequence is described by selecting the smallest interval as the unit and measuring the other intervals against it.).The sequence could be represented as having two successive interval clusters of ( 114), six times a (1), two times (114) and one (24).Simon and How does the structure of a sequence affect the timing of sequences embedded in it?3) In Chapter 4, accuracy of reproduction of different types of interval ratios is investigated.The issues addressed are: If a sequence is structured using a higher order time unit, will all interval ratios, complex (e.g., 2:7) and simple (e.g., 1:3), be References
