Perception and Cognition in Absolute Pitch: Distinct yet Inseparable

Absolute pitch (AP) refers to the rare ability to effortlessly identify and/or produce the pitch of a sound without a reference pitch ([Deutsch, 2013][1]). Since AP has been proposed to constitute an ideal model for investigating the joint influences of genes and environment on the development of a
