Abstract
In previous papers, it was shown that the contralateral threshold shift produced by central masking rapidly decays as the time delay from the masker onset increases. In the present paper, we discuss the interaction between this decay and the masker sensation level. Our data indicate that both the threshold shift at the masker onset and the rapidity of its decay increase with the masker intensity. A critical band of random noise centered at 1000 Hz was used as the masker. The threshold shift was determined by means of 10-msec bursts of a 100-Hz tone with the help of a method of forced-choice tracking.
