Quarter note - 1 beat; dotted quarter note - 1 1/2 beats
1 + 1/2 (half of 1) = 1 1/2
Half note - 2 beats; dotted half note - 3 beats
2 + 1 (half of 2) = 3
Whole note - 4 beats; dotted whole note - 6 beats
4 + 2 (half of 4) = 6
A dot adds half the value of the note before it. A common mistake is that it adds one beat. That is because the dot is most commonly used after half notes.
However, in 6/8 time, a quarter note is two beats. The dot after the quarter note makes the note three beats.
Hope this helps!

Ok. Lot of confusion. It doesn't have a specific name but what it does is this:
If I had a quarter note, It would ad a simple one beat. If I had a half nnote, It would add one beat. The dot ALWATS ADDS ONE BEAT. Hope it Helps.

Incorrect. Staccato is a dot OVER or UNDER the note.

And all you did was add to the confusion. You are incorrect,also. A dot adds half the value of the note it is behind.
