Subject: FDL vs F0DL From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Jos=E9_Ignacio_Alc=E1ntara?= <jia10@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2012 08:38:49 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--Apple-Mail-98--76188817 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Dear List Members, According to Flanagan & Sadlow (1958), Pitch discrimination for = synthetic vowels, J. Acoust. Soc. Am., 30: 435-442, F0DLs are slightly = smaller than FDLs for a sinusoid with a frequency equal to that of the = lowest frequency component of the complex tone. This implies that the = (residue) pitch of the complex tone is stronger than that of the = sinusoid, as long as there are resolvable low-frequency harmonics in the = complex tone (e.g., harmonic numbers 3 to 5). I'm assuming that this is = due to the integration of information from different resolvable = harmonics to determine the residue pitch. My question is simply: does anyone know of any other more-recent studies = that have replicated this finding? =20 There's plenty in the literature on pitch perception of tones vs complex = tones, which I know about; however, I cannot find any other studies that = have explicitly compared sensitivity to pitch changes of pure tones vs = complex tones, when the frequency of the sinusoid is equal to the F0 = component of the complex tone?
