Excerpt from The Hearing of Primitive Peoples: An Experimental Study of the Auditory Acuity, and the Upper Limit of Hearing of Whites, Indians, Filipinos, Ainu and African Pigmies When it came to the question of selecting the tests to be made, there was little of historical precedent to aid in making a choice. Dr. Charles Myers, in the only extended report on the hearing of primitive peoples extant, had examined three phans of hearing, namely: (1) The upper threshold of pitch, (2) the acuity for tones of medium pitch, and (3) the perception of interval. In addition to these three tests, a number of others, which might have brought out interesting and instructive results, suggested themselves to me. These related to space perception, tone. Memory and imagery, and clang preferences. The scope of our work, however, was subject to certain definite limitations.
