Abstract
With 10 successive octave tones, Shepard demonstrated that upward shifts in frequency might be heard [by human subjects] as downward shifts in pitch. This decoupling of auditory pitch and frequency has important consequences for any representational theory of pitch. Experiments were reported that attempt to identify the crucial features of Shepard''s demonstration.
