title: Singing: a selective deficit in the retrieval of musical intervals.
abstract: A case of dissociation between discrimination and retrieval of musical information in a patient with a lesion of the right hemisphere is described. This patient has lost the ability to correctly retrieve a musical interval when required to sing. This occurs in the presence of unimpaired interval discrimination and correct retrieval of temporal patterns and melodic contour (direction).
