Abstract
Meter induction is a key process for rhythm perception. However, while some nonhuman animals readily detect temporal regularities and perceive beats in auditory sequences, there is no consistent evidence that they extract metrical structures. In the present experiment, we familiarized rats (Rattus norvegicus) to auditory rhythmic sequences that evoked a duple or a triple meter. We then tested their recognition of these familiar sequences when pitted against novel sequences that evoked no meter (isotonic), evoked a different meter (either duple or triple), or were nonmetrical (nonisochronous). The animals only discriminated isochronous from nonisochronous sequences. However, we found no evidence for meter induction, as the animals did not discriminate familiar from isotonic sequences or from sequences with a different meter. The findings suggest that, under a familiarization paradigm, the natural tendency of the animals is to focus on temporal rather than melodic changes to recognize rhythmic sequences.

期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
