Given that music exists in every known society yet differs greatly by culture, it must arise from interactions between biological constraints and culture-specific experience.
Suggests that music as combinations of separate elements is not merely an invention of Western scholarship and musical traditions, but a basis of human musical experience worldwide.
The particular categories we observed were not arbitrary either. Categories existed at rhythms with small integer ratios in all tested groups and are thus considered a widespread characteristic of human mental representations.
May reflect an innate bias favoring integer-ratio rhythms.
1 difference from other cross-cultural category-perception examples is that rhythm categories are usually nonverbal, consistent with the idea that discrete representations do not necessarily depend on language labels.

音楽がすべての既知の社会に存在するが、文化によって大きく異なることを考えると、音楽は生物学的制約と文化特有の経験の間の相互作用から生じるに違いありません。
別の要素の組み合わせとしての音楽の概念が単に西洋の学問と音楽の伝統の発明ではなく、世界中の人間の音楽体験の基礎であることを示唆しています。
私たちが観察した特定のカテゴリも恣意的なものではありませんでした。カテゴリはテストされたすべてのグループに小さな整数比のリズムで存在しており、したがって人間の精神的表象の広範な特徴であると考えられます。
整数比のリズムを好む生来のバイアスを反映している可能性があります。
異文化間のカテゴリ認識の他の例との違いの 1 つは、リズム カテゴリが通常は非言語的であることであり、これは離散表現が必ずしも言語ラベルに依存しないという考えと一致します。
