Abstract

Roving‐level intensity discrimination tests were performed using pure and partially masked tones of the same frequency (1000 Hz) over relatively large intensity ranges whose endpoints were matched in loudness. Five experiments have been conducted: two monaural experiments involving comparisons between the same stimulus types, two involving interaural comparisons of the same stimulus types, and one involving interaural comparisons of different stimulus types. Preliminary results indicate that the variance introduced by the interaural comparison is roughly independent of stimulus type. The size of this variance is slightly larger than the sum of the sensation and memory trace variances found in monaural comparisons. [Work supported by NSF.]
