Additivity of perceptual channel-crossing effects in auditory gap detection.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Five normal listeners were tested in detail for their auditory gap-detection thresholds, using stimuli in which the narrow-band noise markers of the gap differed in one or both of two auditory dimensions ~frequency composition and ear stimulated!. Gap thresholds for stimuli in which the markers differed along either single dimension averaged about 18 ms, while thresholds for markers differing across both dimensions were closer to 28 ms. These data suggest that the perceptual relative-timing operation that mediates between-channel gap detection is shared across auditory dimensions. © 1999 Acoustical Society of America. @S0001-4966~99!03301-9#

Neural correlates of gap detection in three auditory cortical fields in the Cat.
Neural correlates of gap detection in three auditory cortical fields in the cat. Mimimum detectable gaps in noise in humans are independent of the position of the gap, whereas in cat primary auditory cortex (AI) they are position dependent. The position dependence in other cortical areas is not known and may resolve this contrast. This study presents minimum detectable gap-in-noise values for w...
متن کاملAuditory gap detection, perceptual channels, and temporal resolution in speech perception.
This article overviews some recent advances in our understanding of temporal processes in auditory perception. It begins with the premise that hearing is the online perceptual elaboration of acoustic events distributed in time. It examines studies of gap detection for two reasons: first, to probe the temporal acuity of auditory perception in its own right and, second, to show how studies of gap...
متن کاملPerceptual Gap Detection Is Mediated by Gap Termination Responses in Auditory Cortex
BACKGROUND Understanding speech in the presence of background noise often becomes increasingly difficult with age. These age-related speech processing deficits reflect impairments in temporal acuity. Gap detection is a model for temporal acuity in speech processing in which a gap inserted in white noise acts as a cue that attenuates subsequent startle responses. Lesion studies have shown that a...
متن کاملAzimuthal tuning of human perceptual channels for sound location.
Human sound localization is acute for frontal locations, but relatively poor in the lateral hemifields. Previous studies in man have not, however, provided evidence on the tuning of the perceptual channels for auditory space that subserve this pattern of acuity. The spatial tuning of perceptual channels used in human azimuthal sound localization was determined using a between-channel auditory t...
متن کاملBehavioral and electrophysiologic evidence of auditory processing disorder: a twin study.
We administered a battery of both behavioral and electrophysiologic measures to a pair of fraternal twin girls, one of whom exhibited symptoms consistent with an auditory processing disorder. Both twins were within normal limits on standardized tests of cognitive and language skills. Basic audiometric measures, as well as behavioral tests of simultaneous masking, backward masking, gap detection...
