The present research tested the hypothesis that motivational states can be activated using not only visual stimuli, but auditory manipulation as well. Specifically, it was argued that pitch contains critical information regarding one's physical surroundings and automatically activates cognitive constructs related to movement and motivation. Four studies revealed that descending pitch activates avoidance motivation, consequently impacting cognitive and perceptual processes. Study 1 found that participants exposed to descending pitch performed worse on an anagram task than those exposed to the sound of either neutral or ascending pitch. Study 2 revealed that descending pitch led to performance decrements on a task measuring cognitive flexibility. Study 3 showed that descending pitch facilitated improved performance on a vigilance task. Study 4 provided evidence for increased activation in the right hemisphere of the brain, an outcome consistent with an avoidance motivational state. A series of alternative hypotheses (affect, arousal, mood, perceived effort, perceived importance, and perceived competence) were addressed, and funnel debriefings across all four studies supported the notion that participants were not aware of the psychological influence of pitch on their behavior. General discussion centered on the influence of sound on motivational and cognitive processes.
