Yet, finding e= mpirical studies to support this idea appears to be a challenge. For exampl= e, when representing data visually, larger data values are often represente= d with increasing vertical extent (e.g., taller bars in a bar graph). In m= ost cases observers have almost unanimous agreement on which bar is higher.= In audition the same data can be represented in the domain of musical pitc= h. High pitch can be used to represent large data values and low pitch can= be used to represent small data values. However, there is greater disagree= ment among listeners in the case of sonification and the data value specifi= ed by pitch. In fact, listeners without musical training often are confused= by the terms "high" and "low" as they pertain to musical pitch (Neuhoff, K= night, & Wayand, 2002). I would be grateful to learn of other examples of greater perceptual variab= ility in the auditon versus vision, particulary as it pertains to data repr= esentation.
