looking for a control task /spectro-temporal processing (Nadine Gaab )

Subject: looking for a control task /spectro-temporal processing From: Nadine Gaab <gaab@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 15:37:08 -0500 This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0055_01C651B4.4F319350 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello list! We are designing an experiment that examines auditory spectro-temporal processing: "Subjects will listen to three-tone sequences comprised of two complex tones and will be asked to reproduce the order of the tones manually. Tones will have a frequency of either 100Hz or 300Hz. The Inter-Stimulus-Interval (ISI) between the three tones will vary in several steps (e.g. 5ms, 20ms, 50ms and 300ms). We are looking for a control task that does not involve auditory temporal processing but it should still be an auditory task and it should not produce ceiling effects. We thought about amplitude/intensity discrimination with a very long ISI or environmental sound categorization..any other thoughts or comments?
