Dear List -

I enclose a query that I am re-re-forwarding on behalf of Uwe Baumann,
who was forwarding it on behalf of his colleague Stefan Wartini.
I hope, after all this forwarding, someone will be able to help!

Dear colleagues,

here comes a question from a colleague of mine who is searching for
hints on literature about s special kind of masking
experiments.

>begin of included message

I'm looking for psychoacustic data concerning masking
of sinusoidal testtones by single sinusoids or harmonic
complex maskers. I know there's a lot of papers on this
topic, but only very few  describe data of experiments
using testtones and maskers of the SAME duration.
All I found are the following papers:
- - ------------------------------------------------------------
D.~M. Green.: Masking with continuous and pulsed sinusoids.
J. Acoust. Soc. Am., 46(4):939--946, 1969

S.~P. Bacon and B.~C.~J. Moore.: Temporal effects in simultaneous
pure-tone masking: effects of signal frequency, masker/signal
frequency ratio, and masker level.
Hearing Research, 23:257--266, 1986.

B.~Leshowitz and E.~Cudahy.: Masking patterns for continuous
and gated sinusoids.
J. Acoust. Soc. Am., 58(1):235--242, 1975.
- - ------------------------------------------------------------
All the other papers I found use different durations of masker
and testsignal like:
- - -------------------------------------------------------------
E.~Zwicker and H.~Fastl.: On the development of the critical
band.
J. Acoust. Soc. Am., 52(2):699--702, 1972.

B.~Leshowitz and E.~Cudahy.:  Masking with continuous and
gated sinusoids.
J. Acoust. Soc. Am., 51(6):1921--1929, 1972.

H.~Fastl.: Temporal masking effects {III}: Pure tone masker.
Acustica, 43(5):282--294, 1979.

N.~Viemeister.:  Adaptation of masking.
In "Psychophysical, physiological and behavioral studies in
hearing", pages 190--199. Delft University Press, 1980.

S.~Bacon and N.~Viemeister.:The temporal course of simultaneous
tone-on-tone masking.
J. Acoust. Soc. Am., 78(4):1231--1235, 1985.

S.~Bacon and N.~Viemeister.: Simultaneous masking by gated and
continuous sinusoidal maskers.
J. Acoust. Soc. Am., 78(4):1220--1230, 1985.
- - ------------------------------------------------------------

Does anybody know any other papers, that could help me ?
I'm especially looking for data for 1kHz maskers with 60~dB and
80~dB SPL with various testtone-frequencies and durations of
both above 200ms.

Thanks a lot in advance !!!
Stefan Wartini
