Subject: The auditory continuity phenomenon From: Elvira Perez vallejos <perez.elvira@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2007 16:56:20 +0900 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>------=_Part_19372_134081.1172735780697 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Dear Auditory List, I have a question regarding the auditory continuity phenomenon. The literature I have reviewed shows that listeners perceive tones and glides as maintaining continuity over breaks of up to 300 ms, if the gap is 'filled' with louder noise ( e.g., Warren et al., 1972; Dannenbring & Bregman, 1976; Ciocca & Bregman, 1987; Nakajima & Sasaki, 1996; Drake & McAdams, 1999) It seems plausible to think that the continuity effect for glides should be stronger due to frequency trajectory cues or feedforward effects. A pure tone can not take advantage from those types of cues; it has no movement and its trajectory is redundant. Do you know any studies showing differences between perceived continuity of steady vs. glides?** Thank you Elvira ------=_Part_19372_134081.1172735780697 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-2022-JP Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline <div><font face="ＭＳ Ｐゴシック" color="#000000" size="2"> <p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman"><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; COLOR: black">Dear Auditory List,</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"></span></font></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></span></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman"><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt">I have a question regarding the auditory continuity phenomenon.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"> </span> </font></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></span></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman"><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt">The literature I have reviewed shows that listeners perceive tones and glides as maintaining continuity over breaks of up to 300 ms, if the gap is 'filled' with louder noise ( e.g., Warren et al., 1972; Dannenbring & Bregman, 1976; Ciocca & Bregman, 1987; Nakajima & Sasaki, 1996; Drake & McAdams, 1999) </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"></span></font></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></span></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><font face="Times New Roman">It seems plausible to think that the continuity effect for glides should be stronger due to frequency trajectory cues or feedforward effects.
