Figure 3. Qualitative comparison of pure tone pitch judgments with empirical predictions.

(A) Judgments of pitch magnitude elicited by sine tones of increasing frequency, redrawn from Miskiewicz and Rakowski [23]. (B) The PDF of harmonic tones, obtained by taking integer multiples of fundamental frequencies in the database. (C) The CDF for harmonic tones in speech. As in (A), the CDF shows a distinct change in slope at ∼200 Hz.
