The atlas records 2 replications of this study. Recorded outcomes: 2 successful. The earliest on record is from 2012.

Replications

• Absolute memory for pitch: A comparative replication of Levitin's 1994 study in six European labs, Frieler et al. (2013). Musicae Scientiae. Outcome recorded: successful. Our results generally confirm the findings of Levitin (1994). Outcome read from the abstract. View paper
• Comparative replication studies of the "Levitin Effect" in five laboratories, Fischinger et al. (2012). Outcome recorded: successful. Our replication study supports basically the hypothesis that that there is a strong absolute component for pitch memory of very well-known tunes. Outcome read from the abstract.
