Abstract:Data obtained in sample-discrimination tasks indicate that subjects place high weight on the lowest and highest frequencies when making judgments concerning the loudness of broadband stimuli. In an effort to determine whether these judgments are truly based on loudness, six subjects with normal hearing were tested in a loudness matching task where the stimuli consisted of 15 bands of noise, each two critical bands wide, or 15 tones at the center frequencies of those noise bands. In addition to comparing all co… Show more
