Excerpt from Interval Discrimination as a Measure of Musical AptitudeSecond is the necessity for securing a valid, psychological, and unitary response on the function to be studied. To be an effective response for use in measurement it must represent a perceptual abil ity associated with this function alone, and not be in¿uenced by any of the more complex patterns of the structure of music. Third, the unitary response so determined must be cast into some Objective form so that it may serve as a reliable means of testing. Moreover, certain patterns of test construction need study so that the greatest possible validity may be given the final instrument of measurement. The last point is the matter of selecting significant and important criteria of musical behavior for the purpose of validating and other wise testing the performance of the exploratory instrument of mea surement.Not until each pivotal point is made as secure as possible can the study proceed to the examination of the main thesis, which is to ascertain the extent to which a measure of the function of interval discrimination can serve as an index of the larger, more important aspects of musical ability.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
