Abstract
The study established relations between 3 cognitive factors (spatial, verbal and numerical) and 4 personality factors (anxiety, inhibitory conversion, aggression and schizoid tendencies) and reproduction of melody as a component of music.
The regression analysis of achievement in reproduction of melody within the space of cognitive and personality factors did not yield a significant relation.
It, therefore, seems that musicality even though it was not measured by means of relevant musical tests is the dominant ability necessary in reproduction of melody.
It can also be assumed that the necessary cognitive factors of the subjects, measured in this work, were satisfactory for reproduction of melody. Moreover, it may be stated that the measured personality factors did not have a negative effect upon the achievements in reproduction of melody.
