Abstract

A two-dimensional stimulus-classification paradigm was used to examine the ability of listeners to judge the laterality of an interaurally delayed low-frequency target component presented concurrently with a distractor component. Of primary interest was the effect on performance of the frequency difference (Delta f) between the target and distractor. In one set of conditions, the target was fixed at 753 Hz and the distractor was 353, 553, 653, 703, 803, 853, 953, or 1153 Hz (fixed within a block of trails). In a second set of conditions, the distractor was fixed at 753 Hz and the target frequency was 353, 553, 653, 703, 803, 953, or 1153 Hz. The listeners were presented with a target component with an interaural delay that varied from trial to trial, taking on one of ten values, five leading to the left ear and five leading to the right. A distractor component was simultaneously presented with an interaural delay that also took on one of the same ten values. Delays ranged from -90 to (+)90 microseconds in 20-microsecond steps. during a block of 100 trials, each of the possible combinations of target and distractor delay was presented once and only once in a random order. Listeners were instructed to make left-right judgments ba...Continue Reading
