Abstract

A total of 72 adult male Ss judged the pleasantness of eight auditory stimulus sequences differing in the number and rate of succession of single tone elements within a 10 sec interval (3, 5, 8, 13, 22, 37, 61, 100). The effects of differential preceding stimulation, concurrent stimulation, and succession rate were evaluated by an analysis of variance design. A strong main effect of succession rate was obtained. Supplemental analyses suggested that a slight effect of concurrent stimulation diminished during the relatively long period of the rating procedure. The results argue for a rather stable optimal level of pleasantness for auditory sequences in the range of 3–13 stimuli per 10 sec interval.
