摘要
The present study examined the dependence of difference tone level [L(f2~f1)] on the following parameters of the two tone input: f1f2/f (f2>f1), L1,L2and L1=L2. Difference tone levels were estimated in four normal hearers using a 2AFC adaptive temporal gap masking paradigm. The key finding in this study is the apparent interaction of each factor with the other. For example, primary level (L1=L2) was found to affect the dependence of L(f2— f1) on f1and on f2/f1In addition, the frequency separation of the primaries (f2/f1) was also seen to exert an influence on the dependence of difference tone level on L1L2and L1= L2. © 1979, American Association of Physics Teachers.
