AN UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO DETERMINE TRADABILITY OF INTERAURAL TIME AND INTERAURAL INTENSITY

Unlike traditional studies of time intensity trading, in which attention is focused on the trading ratio, an attempt was made to determine the extent to which interaural time delays can be discriminated from interaural intensity differences. The attempt was unsuccessful, however, because of enormous variability in the subjects' responses. It is conjectured that a significant portion of this variability was related to small variations in the fit of the earphones during the course of the experiment. © 1969, Acoustical Society of America.
