Frequency 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 کاملLevel dependence of auditory filters in nonsimultaneous masking as a function of frequency.
Auditory filter bandwidths were measured using nonsimultaneous masking, as a function of signal level between 10 and 35 dB SL for signal frequencies of 1, 2, 4, and 6 kHz. The brief sinusoidal signal was presented in a temporal gap within a spectrally notched noise. Two groups of normal-hearing subjects were tested, one using a fixed masker level and adaptively varying signal level, the other u...
متن کاملForward masking: adaptation or integration?
The aim of this study was to attempt to distinguish between neural adaptation and persistence (or temporal integration) as possible explanations of forward masking. Thresholds were measured for a sinusoidal signal as a function of signal duration for conditions where the delay between the masker offset and the signal offset (the offset-offset interval) was fixed. The masker was a 200-ms broadba...
متن کاملIntensity discrimination in forward masking.
A nonmonotonic intensity discrimination function was recently reported in which a midlevel hump occurred for 25-ms sinusoidal standards ranging from 20 to 100 dB SPL and presented 100 ms after an intense narrow-band noise forward masker [F.-G. Zeng et al., Hear. Res. 55, 223-230 (1991)]. This paper provides additional data on how the midlevel hump is affected by three factors of forward masking...
متن کاملoff frequency masking function at high levels: a clinical study on nonlinear masking function at high levels by changing the middle ear stiffness
at the highest signal levels, the masking function for the off-frequency condition seems to become more linear. while some basilar membrane data show more linear growth at high levels, others do not. aim of the present study is to assess function of masking at high levels regarding its clinical appearance. in this experiment we evaluated the hearing thresholds of three different signals (wide-b...
