Abstract

Recent renewed interest in auditory backward masking has stemmed from studies of children with language impairments who were found to have significant, elevated thresholds for this paradigm, compared to normal cohorts. There are, however, many unresolved theoretical and procedural issues. The present study was conducted to investigate some of these issues. Specific purposes were: 1) To establish the differences between backward masking and simultaneous masking in normal hearing subjects; 2) To investigate the effect of listening conditions, i.e., monaural versus binaural; 3) To measure the effect of training on the performance of a backward masking paradigm; and 4) To measure generalization of the trained condition to untrained conditions. Two experiments were conducted: In experiment I, we compared the performance of 10 normal-hearing adult subjects for backward masking and simultaneous masking paradigms in both monaural and binaural modes of presentation. Stimuli consisted of a 1000 Hz pure-tone and bandpass masker (600-1400 Hz). Tone thresholds for backward masking were significantly lower than those of the simultaneous masking. The binaural mode of presentation yielded lower thresholds than those of the monaural mode only f...Continue Reading
