Epistemological models in psychoacoustics: a historical overview

Abstract

Since Fechner set the basis for psychophysics, psychology of sound and musical perception \nstarted its course as a scientific discipline. During less than two centuries of history, anyway, \nit passed through many different epistemological paradigms, influenced by the changes \noccurred into the historical and philosophical panorama. Starting from Fechner's 1860 \nvolume Elemente der Psychophysik, we explore these paradigm shifts, tracking some of the \nprincipal steps made by psychology of sound and music in its attempts to offer a model for \ndiscovering and explaining the scientific phenomena and laws underlying acoustic sensations \nand perception, “in tune” with the different theoretical frames of the most influent \npsychological theories of the XIXth and XXth century.
