Abstract
Temporal masking of clicks by noise was investigated using forward and backward masking paradigms. Both the noise duration and the temporal separation, ΔT, between the click and noise were varied. For very brief ΔTs (100 microsec) and for very long ΔTs (100 msec), the duration of the masker did not greatly affect the click threshold. However, for intermediate ΔTs (3 msec), the threshold increased by as much as 44 dB as the noise duration increased from 0.1 to 100 msec. Temporal weighting functions, which describe the relative effectiveness of the noise as a function of ΔT, were computed from these data.
