Listeners cannot use a repeated pattern as a template for transposed comparisons
Evidence
Performance is not helped by one exact repetition of the standard pattern (block 2 versus block 6). This shows that although listeners may become sensitive to a repeating pattern after only 1.5 repetitions (Barascud 2014 ), they are unable to use this pattern for comparison with transposed versions of the pattern. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 5263
