Precursor effects on behavioral estimates of frequency selectivity and gain in forward masking.
The experiments presented in this paper explore the hypothesis that cochlear gain is reduced, in a frequency-specific manner, over the course of a sound (called a "precursor") which was designed to activate the medial olivo-cochlear reflex (MOCR). Psychophysical tuning curves (PTCs) and off-frequency growth of masking (GOM) functions were measured with two precursors. The on-frequency precursor...
متن کاملReconciling frequency selectivity and phase effects in masking.
The effects of auditory frequency selectivity and phase response on masking were studied using harmonic tone complex maskers with a 100-Hz fundamental frequency. Positive and negative Schroeder-phase complexes (m+ and m-), were used as maskers and the signal was a long-duration sinusoid. In the first experiment, thresholds for signal frequencies of 1 and 4 kHz were measured as a function of mas...
متن کاملFrequency discrimination in forward and backward masking.
Frequency difference limens for pure tones preceded by a forward masker or followed by a backward masker were obtained across a wide range of signal levels. Relkin and Doucet [Hear. Res. 55, 215-222 (1991)] have shown that at a masker-signal delay of 100 ms, the thresholds of high-SR (spontaneous rate) auditory-nerve fibers are recovered, while the low-SR fiber thresholds are not. Therefore, fo...
متن کاملTheme 1: Masking and Frequency Selectivity
The main theme in this topic area is to highlight the different approaches taken by hearing scientists to characterize the human auditory system. If our auditory system behaves like a linear time-invariant system, whereby the response of the cochlear filter is completely described by the relationship between its inputs and its outputs, such characterization would be a trivial matter. However, o...
متن کاملon translation of politeness strategies in dialogues involving female characters in translations and retranslations of novels translated before and after the islamic revolution of iran and their effects on the image of women: a polysystem theory approach
abstract reception environment has considerable effects on accepting a translation. as the expectations of a target culture and its values and needs change throughout history, its criteria for accepting a translation or rejecting it will change accordingly (gentzler, 2001). the expectations of iran, as the reception environment in the present study, have changed after the islamic revolution. i...
