Smooth early high (SEH) and smooth late high (SLH) coo calls differ in the temporal location of a frequency inflection and are generally used in different situations. Coo quality is also influenced by additional features, such as relative harmonic level, which may have communicative significance. The authors used multidimensional scaling to analyze the perceptual similarity of SEH and SLH coos. Neither the temporal position of the frequency inflection nor caller identity could explain the coo groupings. Only the temporal relationships of the relative harmonic levels consistently differed between stimulus clusters. Relative level manipulations were conducted on synthetic coo replicas, resulting in substantial stimulus space reorganization. Although temporal position of the frequency inflection may provide the basis for coo classification, the authors suggest that relative harmonic amplitude can also influence response properties.
