Abstract
Twenty subjects made graphic ratings of the perceived laterality of amplitude modulated sounds that were presented through earphones. A 200 Hz modulation frequency was combined with carrier frequencies of 2200 Hz, 3200 Hz, 4200 Hz, and 5200 Hz. The modulator sinusoid was delayed to either ear by temporal intervals ranging from zero to 0.6 ms. A significant interaction of carrier frequency with the linear trend for interaural temporal disparity indicated that the slopes of laterality ratings on temporal disparity decreased with carrier frequency. A significant interaction of carrier frequency with the difference in ratings for the 0.6 ms delays to the two ears indicated that the range in laterality ratings decreased with carrier frequency. The results indicate that the amount of laterality is a decreasing function of carrier frequency for high frequency sounds, which may be a consequence of greater weight being given to zero intensity difference as frequency increases.
