Subject: [AUDITORY] Long/Low & Short/High? From: Lori Holt <lholt@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 1 Nov 2022 16:00:34 -0400--000000000000998d6605ec6e2f08 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Dear auditory aficionados, Fred Dick and I have been doing some work with a long-short tone duration identification task (50ms vs 90ms) where tone frequency is chosen from one of x values in a truncated range (e.g., 800Hz, 920Hz, 1000Hz, 1080Hz, 1200Hz). (You might be familiar with this paradigm from Mondor & Bregman, 1994). We have found a weak but quite reliable effect, where subjects tend to judge lower frequencies more often as 'long', and higher frequencies as 'short'. This was unexpected yet remarkably consistent across a lot of experiments. We have been unable to track down mention of this in the literature. We did dig up a few papers that purported to be on the general topic of frequency effects on duration judgments, but these ended up being about different things entirely... We wondered whether anyone might be familiar with literature we've missed- or maybe even have encountered something like this before yourself?
