Auditory Perception

  • Chapter
Human Psychophysics

Part of the book series: Springer Handbook of Auditory Research ((SHAR,volume 3))

Abstract

Most of the material covered in the previous four chapters has described the sensitivity of human listeners to the basic physical variables of sound responsible for hearing. The data and theories resulting from this work have defined both the form of the auditory code for sound and some of the mechanisms responsible for generating that code. However, if we are to determine the sources of the sounds in our world, we need to know more than just the sensitivity of the auditory system to the frequency, intensity, and time/phase characteristics of sound. In the past decade, there has been an emerging realization that processing the complex sounds that make up our everyday lives is not always predictable from what is known about a listener’s sensitivity to the basic properties of sound and that, most likely, there are unifying themes that can be applied to the perception of all sounds, including speech and music (Yost and Watson 1987).
