Recent experiments have shown that frequency selectivity measured in tone‐on‐tone
simultaneous masking improves with increasing delay of a brief signal relative to the onset …

Threshold changes associated with separating a signal source and a masking white noise
source from 0° to 90° were determined for 0.5, 1 and 8 kHz pure tones and click trains. No …

The effect of gating a wideband masker on the detectability of tones having unexpected
frequencies was assessed using a probe‐signal method. This method leads the listener to …

Measures of energetic and informational masking were obtained from 46 listeners with
sensorineural hearing loss. The task was to detect the presence of a sequence of eight …

Thirteen normal‐hearing observers were exposed to 60 high‐intensity pulses presented at 4
different interpulse intervals: 1, 3, 9, and 30 sec. Temporary threshold shifts (TTS) were …

Masking patterns for a 2-kHz sinusoidal masker at 45, 65 or 85 dB SPL were measured for
three normal-hearing subjects, using a 3-AFC method with feedback (condition 1). The …

Appropriate transformations based on the theory of temporal summation were used to
determine backward masking as a function of the time interval between the onset of a 1000 …

The changes in masking for spondee words that result from varying both the level and the
interruption rate of a white‐noise masker were studied with 14 normal hearing subjects and …

This paper examines how short‐term energy fluctuations in a masker affect the thresholds
for tones at frequencies above those of the masker. Two equally intense tones at 1060 and …

The detectability of a masked sinusoid increases as its onset approaches the temporal
center of a masker. This study was designed to determine whether a similar change in …
