Do you see what I'm singing? Visuospatial movement biases pitch perception

► Past research shows musical pitch and the vertical spatial axis are related but the nature of relationship is unclear. ► We examined whether musical pitch was merely spatially associated or fundamentally spatially represented. ► Pitch discrimination was significantly biased by concurrent visuospatial movement in a singer's gesture. ► Effects were eliminated under spatial memory load, but preserved under verbal memory load. ► Musical pitch is audiospatial: pitch and space share common representational and processing resources.
