Research Abstract	Experiments on cognitive interference were carried out using vocal stimuli sung with syllables congruent and incongruent with their pitches. Performance of the musical pitch identification task was interfered by incongruent pitch labels. In particular, participants with absolute pitch were influenced by pitch processing when shadowing syllables and showed a degraded performance in the syllable task. A large-scale test on absolute pitch revealed that prevalence of absolute pitch is much higher than ever believed in Japanese music students.
