Subject: [AUDITORY] Question: same/different judgments across domains.

Long time listener, first time caller... Some friends of mind are setting up an experiment with same/different judge= ments between pairs of sounds. They want to test sounds from a variety of d= omains: speech, music, natural sounds, etc. One of the researchers suggested that listeners will have different listeni= ng strategies depending on the domain, and this might pose a problem for th= e experiment: our sensitivity for difference in pitch, for example, might b= e very acute for musical sounds but much less-so for speech sounds. I have a hunch that if the stimuli were short enough, this might sidestep t= he problem. Ie, if I played you 250 milliseconds of speech, or 250 millisec= onds of music, you would not necessarily use any particular domain-specific= listening strategy to tell the difference. It would simply be =93sound.=94 I suspect this is because a sound that=92s sufficiently short can stay enti= rely in echoic memory. For longer sounds, you have to consolidate the infor= mation somehow, and the way that you consolidate it has to do with the kind= of domain it falls into. For speech sounds, we can throw away the acute pi= tch information. But that=92s just a hunch. I=92m wondering if this rings true for any of yo= u, that is to say, if it reminds you of any particular research. I=92d love= to read about it. It's been a pleasure to follow these e-mails. I'm glad to finally have an e= xcuse to write. Wishing you all well.
