In order to create a cohesive palette or vocabulary of sounds, many of the sounds use the same melodic primitives. In music theory terminology, there are common motives, major and minor thirds are used extensively, and melodies are almost entirely constructed from the B major pentatonic scale. Similarly, the same sound effects (eating, drums, etc) are also used throughout. However some sounds (coins, cash register, etc) are only heard in one of the scenarios. This table illustrates the commonalities between sounds.
- Delivery
- 1 = not used in study
- 2 = same melody is used in 8
- 3 = same as 9
- 4_Conf_ID = same as 11, 12, 13
- 4_Neutral_ID= same in both sets A1 and A2
- 4a = "Yes" sound, also used in improvising
- 4b ="No" sound, also used in improvising
- 5 Apple = same as 5 Cookie, just different food sound
- 5 Cookie = same as 5 Apple, just different food sound
- 6 = short melody then #2 melody
- Stationary
- 7 = not used in study
- 8 = only in 8 but same melody as 2
- 9 = same as 3
- 10 = same melody as 5 + both food sounds + coin sounds
- 11 = same as 4_Conf_ID
- 12 = same as 4_Conf_ID
- 13 = same as 4_Conf_ID
- 14 = cash register + parts of the melody from 3 & 4a
*Sounds which are not relevant to the comparison of sets A1 and A2 are in grey.
