Hi Jorie,
very good point, the literature on sequential effects in vision that grew rapidly during the past few years is still quite unconnected
to a longer tradition of similar research in audition.
In addition to the recent work in this area already mentioned in the previous posts, sequential effects in the sense of an effect of trial
n-1 on trial n have been studied since the 1970ies, e.g.,
Jesteadt, W., Luce, R. D., & Green, D. M. (1977). Sequential effects in judgments of loudness. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human
Perception and Performance, 3(1), 92-104.
Purks, S. R., Callahan, D. J., Braida, L. D., & Durlach, N. I. (1980). Intensity perception. X. Effect of preceding stimulus on identification
performance. Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 67(2), 634-637.
Luce, R. D., Nosofsky, R. M., Green, D. M., & Smith, A. F. (1982). The bow and sequential effects in absolute identification. Perception
and Psychophysics, 32(5), 397-408.
Also, for instance in the perception of loudness/auditory intensity perception, interactions between stimuli presented *within*
a trial have been studied, with results largely indicating assimilation rather than contrast effects, e.g.,
Elmasian, R., Galambos, R., & Bernheim, A. (1980).

Hi Jorie,
Chambers et al. 2017 review contrastive and attractive context effects and demonstrate striking context effects in pitch perception:
Chambers, C., Akram, S., Adam, V., Pelofi, C., Sahani, M., Shamma, S., and Pressnitzer, D. (2017). Prior context in audition informs binding and shapes simple features. Nature
Communications, 8:15027.
You could also take a look at
Chambers, C. and Pressnitzer, D. (2014). Perceptual hysteresis in the judgment of auditory pitch shift. Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 76(5):1271–1279.
Raviv, O., Ahissar, M., and Loewenstein, Y. (2012). How recent history affects perception: the normative approach and its heuristic approximation. PLoS Comput Biol, 8(10):e1002731.
But there also exist attractive and contrastive context effects in timbre perception, see
Siedenburg, K. (2018). Timbral Shepard-illusion reveals perceptual ambiguity and context sensitivity of brightness perception. Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 143(2):EL93–EL98.

Hi Jorie,
My student Dorothée Arzounian did a couple of studies looking at serial dependency of judgements of frequency change, published in JASA. Let me know if you can't find them.
Good luck!

Dear all,
I am a new PhD student, examining predictive and contextual processes in auditory perception.
Before, my studies were mostly oriented at visual perception, just now making the switch to auditory.
In the visual domain there is the concept of serial dependence (in grating studies).
Where orientation perception is repelled away from previous stimulation (N-1) for stimuli that are relatively similar, and attracted towards previous stimulation (N-1) for stimuli that are relatively different.
I was wondering whether there is a auditory equivalent to this phenomenon (in e.g. tune perception).
So far my search is without any luck, it would be greatly appreciated if someone could direct me to the relevant literature.
Thank you all in advance,
Jorie van Haren
