The research compared what the singer-subjects perceived as being whistle register phonations with that which they perceived as being head register phonations. A comparative technique was utilized where pitch, intensity and phonemic category were held relatively constant, register, therefore, being the only variable.

In addition, an attempt was made to determine if the whistle register could be perceptually differentiated on the basis of voice quality,
