Talk:Diana Deutsch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Deutsch didn't discover the octave illusion or the tri-tone illusion (they were mentioned in Shepard's 1963 paper) but she did the most to investigate them.

Deutsch discovered both the Octave Illusion and the Tritone Paradox. Concerning the Octave Illusion, the first report can be found on the Octave Illusion page, specifically, JASA 1974, Nature 1974 abstract and the full article. As for the Tritone Paradox, the first report can be found on the Tritone Paradox page, specifically JASA 1986 abstract, Music Perception 1986 abstract and the full article. Shepard did not mention either of these in 1963; they had not been discovered at that time. Thenthorn 15:36, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
