"The more complex the sound, the more diffuse and arbitrary tended to be the visual representation devised by many groups of children"
"...certain types of experience (e.g. musical training) are more important influences that others (e.g., [sic] language and environment) in auditory/visual integration tasks involving frequency change and vertical visual deployment"
From the experiment: "Musical training is the most important single factor in choices of visual metaphor for sounds ... Age is a factor, but of less importance. Culture and environment were found to be significant factors for one cultural group, which lived in a more isolated environment than the others"
There is a Western musical-visual correlate of increasing pitch with rising vertical placement (cf. placment of notes on a staff) -- this is subjective though as there is no direct perceptual correlate between more frequency and being higher on a vertical scale. Compare this to increasing amplitude and the visual correlate of larger size.
Frequency and visual vertical placement might be better discussed in terms of cross-modal integration or intersensory coordination. Intensity correlates can be termed amodal because the sensation of intensity is not specific to one modality whether that be hearing, sight or another sense.
On the basis of the experiment there are indications that musical training may have an effect on other correlates than frequency with vertical placement"
