What is it called when you can tell if a note is off key?

Asked by leopardgecko123 (777points) February 20th, 2011 from iPhone

I play violin and I can tell exactly when a note is off key and once I listened to my friend play guitar and I could tell she played a note wrong (without looking at her face) and I never heard the song before. Is there a name for it?

And does it relate to this?:

I can play a song on my violin once I’ve heard it without looking at any notes. I think that’s called playing by ear, but I’m not sure.

Thank you!!!!!! :):):):):):):)
