This file contains data from Lola Cuddy and Carol Lunney's 1995 melodic expectation study (Cuddy, L. L., & Lunney, C. A. 1995. Expectancies generated by melodic intervals: perceptual judgments of melodic continuity. Perception & Psychophysics 57, 451-462.) C & L played participants two-tone contexts followed by a continuation tone, and had them judge the expectedness of the continuation tone on a scale of 1 to 7. C & L used eight two-tone contexts. For each one, a range of 25 possible continuation tones was used, within an octave above or below the second context tone. Here are the two-note contexts, followed by the continuation-tone ranges: C4 D4 [D3-D5] ["D3-D5" means D3, Eb3, F3, F#3 ... D5] C4 Bb3 [Bb2-Bb4] C4 Eb4 [Eb3-Eb5] C4 A3 [A2-A4] C4 A4 [A3-A5] C4 Eb3 [Eb2-Eb4] C4 Bb4 [Bb3-Bb5] C4 D3 [D2-D4] This makes 200 stimuli in all. The appendix to their paper gives mean expectedness ratings for all 200 stimuli. They report two sets of data, one for musically trained participants and one for untrained ones. The numbers below average the values for trained and untrained participants. The numbers are listed in the order suggested above: first the 25 numbers for the context C4 D4, with continuation tones D3, Eb3, etc.; then the numbers for context C4 Bb4, and so on. **** 3.165 2.165 2.540 3.955 3.085 5.455 2.955 4.500 5.250 4.875 4.750 3.170 4.960 5.540 5.625 5.710 3.710 5.250 3.295 4.625 4.085 3.665 3.085 1.960 3.290 3.295 1.790 2.915 2.585 3.165 4.830 2.875 4.790 3.500 5.165 5.460 4.585 5.045 3.665 4.795 5.545 4.750 5.710 3.210 5.540 3.665 4.540 3.705 2.375 4.790 4.085 2.290 3.540 3.000 3.750 5.460 2.795 5.000 3.955 5.000 5.585 4.250 5.330 3.875 5.835 3.875 5.415 6.165 3.040 5.955 2.960 5.580 3.335 2.165 4.205 2.795 2.165 2.165 4.210 2.585 3.875 2.915 4.420 5.750 4.250 6.045 3.920 5.000 5.250 4.665 5.750 4.295 5.670 3.790 5.000 5.500 3.295 3.915 2.330 3.875 3.335 4.080 3.415 4.500 3.705 4.330 3.460 4.000 5.500 3.375 6.085 4.375 5.335 5.580 4.580 5.540 3.790 4.710 3.290 4.375 5.125 3.040 3.790 2.085 4.125 3.165 1.915 2.875 2.125 2.455 4.790 2.710 3.665 3.295 4.750 5.500 4.750 5.500 4.295 5.040 4.915 4.830 6.000 3.330 6.250 4.665 5.375 4.830 3.125 5.040 4.835 2.955 4.165 4.045 4.375 4.835 3.420 4.705 3.420 5.500 5.250 5.000 4.915 3.875 5.335 4.375 4.335 4.915 3.750 5.165 3.580 4.790 2.835 2.875 4.330 3.375 2.330 2.455 2.790 2.290 4.545 2.375 3.835 4.045 4.165 5.040 4.460 5.040 5.085 4.670 5.000 4.295 5.625 3.585 4.875 5.625 5.290 4.580 2.960 5.000
