Editing Absolute pitch (section)

===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>
