Editing Absolute pitch (section)

==Correlations==
There is evidence of a higher rate of absolute pitch in the [[autistic]] population.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Mottron|first1=Laurent|last2=Bouvet|first2=Lucie|last3=Bonnel|first3=Anna|last4=Samson|first4=Fabienne|last5=Burack|first5=Jacob A.|last6=Dawson|first6=Michelle|last7=Heaton|first7=Pamela|date=2013|title=Veridical mapping in the development of exceptional autistic abilities|journal=Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews|volume=37|issue=2|pages=209–228|doi=10.1016/j.neubiorev.2012.11.016|issn=1873-7528|pmid=23219745|doi-access=free}}</ref> Many studies have examined pitch abilities in autism, but not rigidly perfect pitch, which makes them controversial. It is unclear just how many autistic people have perfect pitch because of this. In a 2009 study, researchers studied 72 autistic teenagers and found that 20 percent of the teenagers had a significant ability to detect pitches. Autistic children are especially sensitive to changes in pitch.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Perfect Pitch: Autism's Rare Gift {{!}} Interactive Autism Network |url=https://iancommunity.org/ssc/perfect-pitch-autism-rare-gift |access-date=November 18, 2022 |website=iancommunity.org |language=en}}</ref>

===Correlation with musical talent===
Absolute pitch is not a prerequisite for skilled musical performance or composition. However, there is evidence that musicians with absolute pitch tend to perform better on musical transcription tasks (controlling for age of onset and amount of musical training) compared to those without absolute pitch.<ref name="phil-446">{{cite journal | author=Dooley, K. |author2=Deutsch, D. |s2cid=13958792 |name-list-style=amp| title=Absolute pitch correlates with high performance on musical dictation | journal=The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America| volume= 128 | issue=2| pages= 890–3| year=2010 | pmid=20707458 | doi=10.1121/1.3458848 |bibcode = 2010ASAJ..128..890D}} [http://philomel.com/pdf/JASA-2010_128_890-893.pdf PDF Document]</ref> It was previously argued that musicians with absolute pitch perform worse than those without absolute pitch on recognition of musical intervals;<ref name="miyazaki">{{cite journal | author=Miyazaki K. | title=Perception of relative pitch with different references: Some absolute-pitch listeners can't tell musical interval names | journal=Perception & Psychophysics| volume=57 | issue=7 | pages= 962–970 | year=1995 | doi=10.3758/bf03205455| pmid=8532499| doi-access=free }} [https://doi.org/10.3758%2FBF03205455 PDF Document]</ref> however, experiments on which this conclusion was based contained an [[Artifact (error)|artifact]] and, when this artifact was removed, absolute pitch possessors were found to perform better than nonpossessors on recognition of musical intervals.<ref name="phil-473">{{cite journal |author1=Dooley, K. |author2=Deutsch, D. |s2cid=2840110 | title=Absolute pitch correlates with high performance on interval naming tasks | journal=The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America| volume=130 | issue=6 |pages=4097–4104 | year=2011 | doi=10.1121/1.3652861 | pmid=22225064 | bibcode=2011ASAJ..130.4097D}} [http://philomel.com/pdf/JAS004097.pdf PDF Document]</ref>
