Infant Auditory Sensitivity to Pure Tones and Frequency-Modulated Tones
It has been suggested that infants respond preferentially to infant-directed speech because their auditory sensitivity to sounds with extensive frequency modulation (FM) is better than their sensitivity to less modulated sounds. In this experiment, auditory thresholds for FM tones and for unmodulated, or pure, tones in a background of noise were measured for 4-month-old infants using a conditio...
متن کاملBilateral ablation of auditory cortex in Mongolian gerbil affects discrimination of frequency modulated tones but not of pure tones.
This study examines the role of auditory cortex in the Mongolian gerbil in differential conditioning to pure tones and to linearly frequency-modulated (FM) tones by analyzing the effects of bilateral auditory cortex ablation. Learning behavior and performance were studied in a GO/NO-GO task aiming at avoidance of a mild foot shock by crossing a hurdle in a two-way shuttle box. Hurdle crossing a...
متن کاملFrequency discrimination in rats measured with tone-step stimuli and discrete pure tones.
Two modified go/no-go tasks are compared for the measurement of frequency discrimination in albino rats. The first task required detection of an instantaneous, phase-matched frequency change, called a "tone-step," within a continuous reference tone. The more traditional second task required detection of a frequency change between repetitions of a reference sequence of repeating discrete tones. ...
متن کاملFrequency difference limens of pure tones and harmonics within complex stimuli in Mongolian gerbils and humans.
Frequency difference limens (FDLs) for pure tones between 200 and 6400 Hz and for the first, the second, or the eighth harmonic of an 800 Hz complex in four Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) were determined using a Go/NoGo-procedure. The 12 harmonics of the complex started either in sine phase or at a random phase. Gerbils showed very high pure tone FDLs ranging from 17.1% Weber fractio...
متن کاملEffect of level on the discrimination of harmonic and frequency-shifted complex tones at high frequencies.
Moore and Sęk [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 125, 3186-3193 (2009)] measured discrimination of a harmonic complex tone and a tone in which all harmonics were shifted upwards by the same amount in Hertz. Both tones were passed through a fixed bandpass filter and a background noise was used to mask combination tones. Performance was well above chance when the fundamental frequency was 800 Hz, and all audib...
